TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR GEORGE GREY, BART., M.P.
*4
Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department.
General Register Office, 10 th February , 1852.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit to you the following Report on the Mor-
tality of Cholera in England.
I was requested in 1850 by tbe General Board of Health to make out a
“ Return of all Cases of Cholera that had occurred in England and Wales,
distinguishing Sex and Age.”
After well considering the subject, I thought it desirable, not only for the
use of the General Board of Health, but for circulation throughout the country,
that a complete history of the late epidemic should be drawn up from the facts
recorded in the register-books of deaths, distinguishing not only sex and age,
but also the profession, the date of death, the place of death, and the duration
of illness of all persons who died of Cholera or Diarrhoea in the years 1848
and 1849; giving not only the bare facts but exhibiting in Tables the various
combinations of age, profession, locality, &c.
This duty has been confided by me to Mr. W. Farr, the Examiner and Com-
piler of Abstracts in this department. The Tables have been framed under his
direction with the greatest care and accuracy, and are illustrated by various
ingenious Diagrams ; and the following Report has been written by him after
much research and great attention given to the subject.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your faithful Servant,
GEORGE GRAHAM,
Registrar- General.
TO THE REGISTRAR-GENERAL.
Sir,
In the Report which I have the honour to submit to you, I have endea-
voured to carry out the investigation which you deemed desirable ; and to show
the effects of all the circumstances recorded in the Registers on the fatality oi
the greatest epidemic that has for many years infested England.
In conformity with the plan sketched in your letter the abstracts were care-
fully made under the superintendence of Mr. J. T. Hammack ; the tabling
was superintended by Mr. J. Thornton ; the calculations by Mr. W. Clode.
The diagrams on Plates 2, 3, were drawn by Mr. C. A. Cocke ; the other dia-
grams by Mr. J. R. Sowray. The notes and observations in the London Weekly
Tables were greatly extended during the progress of the epidemic ; and were,
except in the interval from August 11th to September 22nd, under the charge
of Mr. J. Angus. All these duties were discharged with great care and ability.
The Census of March 31, 1851, was published after the first calculations of
the mortality of the epidemic were made ; and advantage was taken of the new
Population Returns to determine, accurately, the mortality of the districts of
London and of the country, in which the disease had been most fatal. When
the numbers and ages of persons living in tbc different professions and occupa-
tions are ascertained from the Census Returns, the influence of occupation on
health, on this and on other diseases, can be determined.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
WILLIAM FARR.

General Register Office,
February 7, 1852.
PART I.— MORTALITY OF CHOLERA.
I
REPORT
ON THE
MORTALITY OF CHOLERA IN ENGLAND,
1848-49.
If a Foreign Army had landed on the coast of England, seized all the seaports, sent
detachments over the surrounding districts, ravaged the population through summer,
after harvest destroyed more than a thousand lives a day for several days in succession,
and, in the year it held possession of the country, slain rifty-three thousand two hundred
and ninety-three men, women, and children — the task of registering the Dead would be
inexpressibly painful; and the pain is not greatly diminished by the circumstance that
in the calamity to be described the minister of destruction was a Pestilence that spread
over the face of the island, and found in so many cities quick poisonous matters ready
at hand to destroy the inhabitants.
In following cholera through its fatal way, however, the inquirer meets with some
grounds of consolation. He sees places on every side which the epidemic passed over,
leaving the inhabitants in the serene enjoyment of health and complete immunity. And
the hope is perhaps not fallacious, that an examination of the results of the second may
be the means of mitigating, if not preventing_a third invasion ; for whatever may be the
immediate cause of cholera, it will appear evident that in England it is only seriously
fatal under certain known physical conditions, which admit to a great extent of remedy.
It is not necessary to describe here the nature of the disease. The task devolves on
others of analysing- the changes which the frame suffers under cholera ; of investigating
the effects of medicine; of relating the steps which were taken to relieve the population
attacked in various places; of discussing in detail the various theories which have been
produced to explain the phenomena ; and finally of portraying in this epidemic the moral
effects, which, as historians have not failed to perceive, possess the highest interest
in the great catastrophes of moriality.*
Under the Act for the Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages, the name, sex,
age, and occupation of every person who dies in England — as well as the time, place,
and cause of death — are registered. The whole of this system of observation and record
was in operation when cholera broke out. The quarterly abstract of deaths for the
whole kingdom, and the London tables which are published weekly — presented notices
of its rise, progress, and decline in particular di-tricis. When the epidemic was over,
it appeared desirable to give a complete abstract of the facts. Accordingly a list of
every case of death from cholera and diarrhoea, in 1849, was transcribed from the
* See the Report of the Board of Health ; and the appended Reports of Dr. Sutherland and Mr. Grainger,
whose active and arduous labours in the epidemic deserve the highest praise. The College of Physicians
has, it is understood, appointed a learned committee to report on the subject. The chemistry of the disease
is ably discussed by Dr. It. D. Thomson, Trans, of Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society, vol. xxxiii.
The disease is well described by Dr. Budd, in the Cyclopaedia of Practical Medicine, and sketched in
the Lectures of Dr. Watson, with his accustomed felicity and accuracy.

The whole forms a large mass of manuscript, which contains the particulars of
72180 deaths. Upon inquiry it was found that the list of persons who died of
the two diseases would fill a tliick octavo volume of about 2500 pages. Three courses
were open ; (1) to publish those facts simply; (2) to publish the tabular abstracts
in detail ; or (3) to publish the abstracts and the salient facts relating to each locality in
a condensed forim The publication of the cases in detail would have been attended with
several advantages ; it would have enabled the medical men of the country to study the
particular facts in their respective districts, surrounded by the circumstances which
affect and modify the mortality ; and the publication of an extended tabular summary
ol the daily deaths in each of the 2189 sub-districts of the country would also have
possessed interest. As the work on e-ther plan would, however, have been exceedingly
voluminous, the third course was adopted : in the meantime the manuscript list of the
72180 cases, and the extended tabular abstracts, are preserved among the records of the
General Register Office, and will always be accessible to the local inquirer, as well
as to the general student of this great and extraordinary epidemic.
The first of the following series of tables shows that 1057 males and 877 females died
from cholera during the year 1848, and that of those numbers 612 males and 493
females, died in the three months of October, November, and December. '1 he numbers
in each county and division are shown separately (pp. 1 — 2). The weekly deaths from
cholera in each division, and the ages at death in the last three months, are added
(PP- 3—4)-
The second series of tables shows of the 53293 deaths from cholera, and 18887 fr°ni
diarrhoea during the year 1849, how many occurred in each of the 11 divisions, 44 counties
(or groups of counties), and 623 districts of England (pp. 5 — 19). The districts are
here arranged in the same topographical order as is adhered to in all the Reports of this
Office. Each district stands in its place, although no death from cholera was registered
within its limits ; the population of 1841 is set forth in a distinct column, and shows
the lowest numbers that could have been exposed to the attacks of the disease. In the
towns, and in the manufacturing and mining districts, the population was, of course,
much greater in 1849 than in 1841.
The third is a remarkable series of tables. It shows the number of deaths from
cholera and from diarrhoea on each day of the year 1849, in all England, in 11
divisions, and in 44 registration counties (pp. 20 — 107 ). Thus the march of the
epidemic through every county can be followed day by day.
In the returns that have previously been made of the mortality of cholera in this and in
other countries, only the deaths from that disease in parts known to be severely in'ected
have been inserted, and it is evident that under such a system — based- on imperfect
registration — many deaths must have escaped observation. But the causes of nearly
all the deaths in England are registered, and all the deaths of 1848 and 1849 are
Health of England. iii
recorded in the volumes from which the present return is derived ; so that the reader
can now trace the progress in place and time of the great epidemic through 17 millions
of people, settled over a wide extent of country, in all the various circumstances of life.
And the difference in the time of invasion, as well as the absence or the inconsiderable
mortality of the epidemic in places lying by the side of' districts overwhelmed by its
effects — is undoubtedly one of the circumstances which most deserve attention in the
study of cholera.
The fourth series of tables shows how many males and females died at various ages
of cholera and diarrhoea in the divisions and counties cf England. Taking 100 years
as the limit, the lifetime is divided into twenty equal quinquennial periods; and the
tables show that the deaths were distributed unequally over the whole of these periods.
The deaths in each of the first five years of life are separately given ; as in that short
interval of age a remarkable change takes place in the form and fatality of the disease.
(Tables pp. 108 — 119.)
A swift and precipitate course ending in dissolution, is a characteristic of all plagues,
and fixes attention in cholera. The duration of 39468 fatal cases of cholera, and of
7896 fatal cases of diarrhoea, is shown in the fifth series of Tables. The duration in
hours and days is exhibited at the quinquennial ages that have been already named.
Tables are given for all England, for England exclusive of London, and for each division
of the country (pp. 120 — 165). The 623 districts of England are divided into 2189
sub-districts. The population (1841), the deaths from cholera, and the deaths from
diarrhoea in each sub-district, are given in the notes (pp. 166 — 300) which close the
volume. The London Registrars returned every case of death from cholera or diarrhoea
weekly, and, in the height of the epidemic, daily, accompanied by any information which
either the informants, or their own observation, supplied, respecting the state of the
streets or houses in which the deaths occurred. This information was necessarily col-
lected in haste; but was found to be substantially correct, and had an excellent effect
at the time, in directing the immediate attention of the authorities to some of the most
crying evils that induced and aggravated the disease. A digest of these Registrars’ local
reports is embodied in the notes, which contain many curious ar.d suggestive facts ; and
the gentlemen who abstracted the cases were requested to compile from the transcripts
short notices of the first and last deaths, distinguishing the dates of such deaths ; as well as
the professions of the persons who died, and the localities which suffered most in every
sub-district. The local inquirer is requested not to accept any opinions expressed in
the notes, or the summaries of the facts themselves, as ultimate results ; but to consider
them only as indications of the direction in which investigation may be advantageously
employed. Upon the number of deaths returned, and the tabular results, lull reliance
may be placed ; as they have been derived directly from returns, and have been duly
checked.
It may increase the usefulness of this Report to give, from the registration returns,
a brief, connected summary of the progress of the epidemic, and to describe its effects
on the health and population of England. But it will be convenient to notice, first,
what the health of the country has been, and what it was immediately before this great
disturbing cause appeared.
HEALTH OF ENGLAND.
Although no regular Registers of Deaths were kept before the Reformation, the chro-
nicles show clearly enough that England has been periodically devastated by famines
and plagues from the earliest times. A large proportion of the population of the
island has been more than once swept away by these visitations. The great plagues
of the sixth and seventh centuries — which destroyed, according to some estimates, half
the inhabitants of tbe Eastern empire — extended to Britain. Besides the Black Death in
the fourteenth century, the sweating sickness of the sixteenth century, and the plagues of
the seventeenth century, terminating in the plague of 1663 described in detail by the
historians — a long catalogue of famines and epidemics may be given, which, though
briefly and imperfectly noticed in the chronicles, were perhaps not much less fatal.
After the Revolution the great plagues ceased; but the mortality was kept up by

typhus, small-pox, influenza, and other zymotic diseases. The writings of Mead, Pringle,
Lind, Blane, Jackson, Price, and Priestley, — the sanatory improvements in the navy,
the army, and the prisons, — as well as the discovery of vaccination by Jenner, — all
conduced to the diffusion of the sound doctrines of public health, and had a practical
etfect, which, with the improved condition of the poorer classes, led to a greatly reduced
mortality in the present century. Since 1816 the returns indicate a retrograde move-
ment. The mortality has apparently increased. Influenza has been several times
epidemic, and the Asiatic cholera reached England, and cut off several thousands of the
inhabitants in 1832. It reappeared and prevailed again, as we have seen, with no miti-
gated violence, in 1849.
The health of all parts of the kingdom is not equally bad. Some districts are in-
fested by epidemics constantly recurring ; the people are immersed in an atmosphere
that weakens their powers, troubles their functions, and shortens their lives. Other
localities are so favourably circumstanced that great numbers attain old age in the
enjoyment of all their foculties, and suffer rarely from epidemics. The variations
in the mortality are seen in’the Tables (pp. cvi-cxxvii), which have been extracted and
arranged from the Ninth Annual Report. The rate of mortality is calculated on
2,436,648 deaths in the 7 years, 1838-44 ’ and on the population taken at the Census of
1841, in the middle of the period. On tracing over 324 sub-divisions of the country,
the force of death in males and females of different ages, the most remarkable differences
are discovered. Here of 1000 young children under 5 years of age forty die, there
a hundred and twenty die annually; here, of 1000 men of mature age (35-45) nine
die, there nineteen die yearly; of 1000 men of 45-55 years of age twelve die in one
district, thirty in another; at the more advanced ages of the next decennium (55-65)
twenty-four die annually in one, fifty in another district: of 1000 females of all ages
without distinction, 14 die annually in three districts, 15 die in eighteen districts, 17
(or less) in forty-eight districts. And in strong contrast, 23 in 1000 females die in
twenty districts, 26 in 1000 in three districts, 27 in seven districts, 31 in two districts.
The mortality at all ages, without distinction, differs much less than the mortality of
children, and less even than the mortality of men and women of the age of 35 and
upwards in the several parts of the country. The population from the age of 15 to 35
is unsettled ; at that age the emigration of servants and artizans from the country to the
towns takes place; and as consumption, the disease then most fatal, is slow in its
course, its victims in many cases retreat from the towns to their parents’ homes in the
villages to die. And the death is registered where it happens, not where the fatal
disease begun, so that, on comparison, it is told twice in favour of the towns; once in
being withdrawn from the town register, and a second time in being added to the
country register, to which it does not properly belong.
Independently of external causes, and by the force of a natural law, the mortality
varies at different periods of life: so that the rate of dying in two mixed popula-
tions may differ according to the varying proportions of children, young persons, or old
people. The series of tables (pp. cxii-cxxvii) shows the rate of mortality at six periods
of life, under five years, at 10-15, 35-45, 45—5 5 , 55—65, and 65-75. ^ *s shown in
the extreme cases, that when the general mortality is either high or low, the mortality
at nearly all these ages is high or low ; and a collation of the whole leaves little doubt
on the question of the relative insalubrity of the various parts of the country.
Upon looking generally at the health of the population, it will be found that people
suffer most in the great town districts. Liverpool and Manchester are the places of
highest mortality, then follow some of the districts of London, Merthyr Tydfil, Bristol,
South Shields, Macclesfield, Hull, several districts of Lancashire, Sheffield, Nottingham,
Leicester, Stoke-upon-Trent, Wolstanton and Burslem, Leeds, Newcastle-on-Tyne,
Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Derby, Salisbury,
Northampton, Bradford, Gateshead, Shrewsbury, Walsall, Norwich, Colchester, Sun-
derland, Exeter, Worcester, Bedford, Dudley, Bath, Ipswich, Carlisle, Lancaster,
Cambridge, Aylesbury, Maidstone, Canterbury, Wycombe, Gloucester, Wakefield, and
Reading.
The mortality is not increased equally at every age in these districts. And it varies

considerably in the two sexes ; the returns for childhood, manhood, and old age, males
and females, conspire in proving the prevalence of general causes of insalubrity operating
with different degrees of intensity, but with much greater force than in other parts of
the country.
It is probable that under any circumstances a certain number of children born will
never reach maturity ; that in a numerous population there will every year be deaths at
all ages, from internal or external causes. In the present state of mankind it is im-
possible to say how small the inevitable loss by death is, as in every place, and among
all classes of people, certain known sources of insalubrity exist, which unquestionably
account for a part of the prevalent mortality. The annual mortality of males and
females of all ages in England is at the rate of 22 in 1000; in Glendale, Bellingham,
and Haltwhistle, three districts of Northumberland, the mortality in the same seven
years was 14 in 1000. Not to take an extreme case, a group of 21 statistical districts
has been formed, and a table of the mean mortality has been deduced from the whole;
which, as it represents the lowest rates of mortality hitherto observed, over a period of
seven years in a considerable population, may for the present be called the mortality of
man from natural causes. The excess of mortality over this standard may be un-
hesitatingly referred to artificial, unnecessary causes, in such tables as the following,
showing the waste of life and health in 40 town and city districts. An equal popu-
lition (100000) is saken at six ages; and it will be observed that the insalubrity tells
with most effect against childhood: the mortality under 5 years of age is raised 124
per cent. ; in manhood it is raised 77, 83, 70 per cent, at three ages, and in puberty
and old age 45 per cent. Out of a given number of men, at different ages, the deaths
by unnatural causes increase every year; for the table shows that to 100000 living in
each period, the deaths are 700 by unnatural causes at the age of 35-45 ; and 1060 at
45-55 ; 1682 at 55-65. The rate of mortality is raised in a less ratio, but to a much
greater extent in old than in middle age, for the natural mortality in old age is
high. The absolute number of deaths is greatest in infancy, as the number of old
persons living is small compared with the number of children living in every popula-
tion ; so that whether the ratio of increase on the natural rate of mortality, the actual
increase in the rate of mortality, or the number of deaths be regarded, children are the
most cruelly treated by the destroyer. Yet of- every 17 men w’ho die in towns, 7 die
by unnatural causes ; and of 1000 living at the age of 40, seven die ; at the age of 50,
eleven die ; at the age of 60, seventeen die; at the age of 70, twenty-six die every year
from causes evidently external and unnatural. Women escape with the least loss ; yet
five in every fifteen annual deaths would not happen in healthy places.

The table may he read thus without reference to decimal points. To 100000 boys living, 4323 die in
comparatively healthy places, and 9678 in unhealthy places, the excess of deaths chargeable on the latter
is 5355-
It often happens that unhealthy and healthy villages, streets, parishes, and towns are
in immediate juxtaposition ; and constitute parts of the same district. The effect of
vi Sanatory Survey of England.
this admixture on the results is, that the unhealthy districts are less unhealthy , and
experience a lower rate of mortality than they would if all the healthy parts were
eliminated. Upon the other hand, the healthy districts are made to appear less healthy
than they would if they consisted only of healthy places, inhabited by people in good
circumstances, under a proper course of diet, discipline, and exercise. The difference
in the mortality of the two classes of districts is therefore understated.
The healthiest districts of the country can readily be pic ked out of the tables. But
some may be named, as it is of importance that they should be generally known ; not
only for the sake of those who wish to resort to healthy localities, but that the precise
condition of the parishes and populations that live in the best health may be studied.
Among the healthiest Registration Districts in the country are Glendale, Bellingham,
Hal twhistle, Morpeth, Rothbury, Alnwick, Belford in Northumberland; Brampton and
Longtown in Cumberland ; Bideford, Holsworthv, South Molton, Torrington, Crediton,
and Barnstaple, in North Devon; Anglesea, Tregaron, Lampeter, Newcastle-in-
Emlvn, D<dgelly, Conven, Bala, Festiniog, Aberystwith, in Wales; Hendon and
Barnet in Middlesex ; Ciodstone, Reigate, and Dorking, in Surrey ; the Isle of Tnanet
(including Margate and Ramsgate*) and Eastry (including Deal) in Kent ; the Isle of
Wight; Blything, Mutford, Wangford, in Suffolk ; Havant, Catherington, Fareham,
Droxford, South Stoneham, New Forest, Lymington, Christchurch, Ringwood, Fording-
bridge, and Uomsey, in Hampshire; Steyning, Thakeham, and Worthing, in Sussex.
If the degrees of mortality are represented by shades on a map, or shadows on the
face of the country, Berwick-on-Tweed is slightly shaded, nearly all Northumberland
is white from the Cheviot Hills and Flodden to Otterbum and Hexhain away over
the forests, wastes, and fells, to Longtown, Brampton and the hilly regions, round the
lakes of Cumberland and Westmorland, to Ulverstone, north of Morecambe Bay. A
dark shade rests on Carlisle, and extends, growing lighter, over Cockermouth and
Whitehaven. From Newcastle down the Ty ne on both sides, the shades are thick and
dark, and over D irham along the west the lessening shadow reaches Barnard Castle.
The shadow over Yorkshire is light, the hilly north region is scarcely stained, and
generally the great basin of the Humber, with the Ouse and Trent, is clear, but darken-
ing shadows extend along the Ouse, the Aire, and the Don, becoming black over
Sheffiidd, Leeds, and Hull the great port of the Humber. Derby, Leicester, and
Nottingham, form a black triangle, sending a prolongation of shadow towards Sheffield
and Stoke-on-Trent, but surrounded on the other side by light spreading over Buxton,
the Peak of Derbyshire, much of Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire.
Lancashire is covered with a mass of darkness, that the light points along the coast
can scarcely pierce. The blackness extends to Macclesfield, Stockport, Newcastle-
under-Lyme, Wolstanton and Burslem. Shadows extend in a line through Shrews-
bury, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Birmingham, and Coventry, with light on both sides,
and the shade descends to Tewkesbury, darkening over the Severn and Gloucester.
A shadow of some density stretches out in a south-westerly direction from Ely,
Wisbeaeh, and Kings Lynn, over Cambridge, Bedford, and Northampton, to Buck-
ingham. Norfolk, with the exception of Norwich, is made light by the contrast
with this region and another on the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk, extending from
Colchester, Ipswich, and Yarmouth, to Saffron Walden. Essex and Hertford are light ;
Middlesex white, out of London, which is darkly shaded. Kent has over it a light
shade, which turns dark over Chatham, Canterbury, Maidstone, and Dover. There is
a general whiteness over Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire with the Isle of Wight, and parts
of Berkshire, from the Thames to the sea; Reading, Brighton, Portsmouth, and South-
ampton, are the dark spots in this field. The misty shadow is quite visible over
Dorset, and grows cloudy over Wiltshire, of which Salisbury is the black centre; but
the mist clears away in North Wilts, and disappears m whiteness over the Cotswold
Hills, Westbury, and \\ heatenhurst in Gloucestershire, divided by the Severn. Tew kes-
bury, Newent, Cheltenham, and Gloucester, make the northern borders of Glouces-
tershire dark, and the shadow from Wiltshire descends on the southern border from

Devizes down the Avon, thickening over Bath, Clifton, Bedminster, and turning into
a black mass over Bristol. Somersetshire is shaded on the side next Wilts and along
the Avon, but is lighter towards the sea channel, and the whiteness is diffused over
Exmoor, Dartmoor, and the whole of North Devon. Dark shadows rest on Exeter, and
extend, growing much lighter, up the Yale of the Exe, to Tiverton. Plymouth,
Devonport, and Stoke Damerel are enshrouded in black mist ; but the expanse of this
great county is white, and so is Cornwall as far as Falmouth, but the parts to the south-
west, studded with mines, are shaded to the Land’s End. A tract of whiteness, sixty
miles in breadth, stretches from Devon, Somerset, and Cornwall, over the Bristol
Channel, and covers the western half of Wales, from the sea-shore to the mountains,
as far as Anglesea, Conway, and St. Asaph* Newport is dusk, Merthyr Tydfil is a
black mass, and the shades spread over Glamorganshire and Brecknockshire, the field
of the Welsh coal and iron works.
The light parts of the country in the map represent a population in health and
vigour, rarely attacked by zymotic diseases, living in considerable numbers to an
advanced age ; the dark parts are real “ valleys of the shadow of death,” where
the population is sickly, feeble, short-lived,- — where thousands of the infants are
convulsed, the children’s brains inflamed, tuberculous, distended with water, — where
small-pox, measles, and scarlatina, instead of being light eruptions, destroy the
structure of the skin, putrefy the throat, inflame the lungs, — where the natural process
of teething is often fatal to the child, childbearing to the mother, — where typhus,
pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, and consumption, destroy thousands of lives, beieaving
families, and leaving multitudes of widows and orphans, following in the train of
untimely death. England, according to the latest observations, is the healthiest country
in the world,* yet it is not easy to calculate in ordinary times her losses by diseases,
from which parts of the country are free, and which the progress of social improve-
ment and medical science may remove. How can the sufferings of a large part of a
nation be estimated ? How can the effects of disorderly morbid states on the passions
and conduct of the people be weighed ? How can the value of time wasted, of great plans
perishing unmatured, of works cut short by death, of men taken from the service of
their country and mankind before their time, be measured ? If the loss is indefinite,
its magnitude is unquestionable. We have now to describe its increase by the invasion of
a foreign plague, which displayed a similar, but not the same partiality, in the selection
of its victims, as the ordinary endemics of the country.
CHOLERA.
Cholera is more fatal in Asia than in Europe ; and several partial epidemics are
described in the annals of India before the rise of that great epidemic of 1817, which
encircled the world, and destroyed men wherever it found them in the circumstances
that lend it power. The slow diffusion of that epidemic and its ravages through 1832
and 1833 in England have been frequently described. Since 1817 India has
experienced several partial epidemics. I11 1845 cholera was epidemic in Cabul, which
from 1839 to 1842 had been the seat of war, and the scene of great triumphs and
great disasters. Bombay was attacked in the spring of 1846, and a part of the army
of Scinde at Kurrachee was assailed by the disease in its most fatal forms. From
Affghanistan, the Punjaub, and Sinde, the epidemic extended over Persia and Syria
in 1846, reached Astrakhan at the mouth of the Volga on the Caspian Sea in June
1847, Moscow in September 1847, Petersburg and Berlin in June 1848, Hamburgh
in September 1848, Edinburgh at the beginning of October 1 848. f The epidemic

travelled at the same rate as the epidemic in 1830—1 ; the dates of the attacks of
which are given by Dr. Kennedy.*
The first epidemic starting from Bengal in August 1817, reached Bombay on
August 10th, 1818, and Astrakhan on September f 8th, 1823, and there it died away.
In Persia, several local epidemics appeared at intervals in the 7 years, 1823-30.
The great epidemic that traversed Europe is said to have sprung up in June 1830 on
the low western shores of the Caspian Sea. The velocity of the two epidemics only
differed in Asia: it was the same in Europe.
It is worthy of remark, that in the hot season of 1846, when the cholera epidemic
acquired great force about the Indus, summer cholera and diarrhoea prevailed with
great violence in England.
CHOLERA IN ENGLAND.
The deaths from cholera in England were 331 in 1838 ; 394 in 1839 ; 702 in 1840 ;
443 in 1841: and 1620 in 1842. The deaths from diarrhoea in the 5 years (1 838-42)
were 2482, 2562, 3469, 3240, and 5241. I shall trace the progress of the'-e diseases
from 1842 by the help of the Quarterly Returns. The slight increase of mortality
in the quarter ending September 30, 1842, was referred to diarrhoea and cholera, which
“was more preva'ent than usual in the season, though in a mild form.” According to
the Registrars (Reg. Gen. Quar. Rep. 1842, 3rd Qu ), “bowel complaint” prevailed at
Brighton, Plymouth, Dudley, Wolverhampton including Bib-ton, Birmingham, Liver-
pool, Manchester, several Lancashire districts, Leeds and Sunderland. English cholera
was fatal to 3 aged men at Northampton ; 1 person at Ipswich. It prevailed at
Deritend and Bordesley near Birmingham, Basford, Macclesfield, Liverpool (where 1
death was registered “Asiatic cholera” of 4 or 5 hours’ duration), West Derby, Black-
burn (where “ 29 persons died of cholera”), Bury and Bolton (where an “epidemic of
diarrhoea or English cholera prevailed among all classes”), Chorlton, Manchester, Salford,
Dukenfield sub-district of Ashton and Oldham, Bradford. In London (1842) 704 deaths
were referred to diarrhoea, 1 1 8 to cholera. Wages were reduced, and there was consider-
able manufacturing distress in this year. The men “ turned out ” in many districts.
1 843. In the summer quarter (July, August, September), “ bowel complaints ” were
noticed in Exeter, Wolverhampton, Lincoln, Nottingham; “an extensive mild fever
prevailed ” in Macclesfield, “ together with English cholera, but not of a fatal
character.” Diarrhoea was prevalent in Liverpool and West Derby ; 40 of the 95
deaths in Chorlton-upon-Medlock were “ from diarrhoea, cholera, or other diseases of the
bowels.” The symptoms, the Registrar states, were, in many cases — “ diarrhoea,
vomiting, and colic ; often with coldness of the skin, and sometimes of the breath ;
blueness of the skin and sunken eyes; the dejections sometimes colourless, with white
flakes, but generally bilious and feculent.” Cholera was fatal to 43 persons in the
Hulme sub-district. English cholera prevailed so far as to constitute an epidemic in
Manchester ; 1 case terminated fatally in 24 hours. Ashton, Oldham, and Halifax
were attacked by diarrhoea and “English cholera.” In the year 1843, 834 deaths were
referred to diarrhoea, 85 to cholera, in London.
1844. In the summer quarter, 47 cases of cholera were registered in London, 414
of diarrhoea. A case of English cholera was registered at Kingston in Portsea Island.
Diarrhoea was prevalent and fatal in Bedford, Clifton, Stroud, Dudley, Wolverhampton,
Coventry, Macclesfield, Chorlton, Manchester, and Huddersfield. In the quarter
ending December, 5 cases of cholera were registered in London ; 3 at Sedgley in the
Dudley district, where “ bowel complaint” continued prevalent. In the year 705 deaths
were referred to diarrhoea, 65 to cholera, in London.

Cholera, 1845-6.
1845. Only 26 deaths from cholera were registered iri London during the summer
quarter: 2 deaths from cholera occurred in St. George’s, Clifton; 1 in Sedgley, Dudley.
In the autumn quarter of the year 2 deaths from cholera happened in Sheffield North.
Cholera and diarrhoea were rare, and attracted little attention. In this year 841 deaths
were referred to diarrhoea, and 43 to cholera, in London.
1846. The winter quarter (January, February, March) was exceedingly mild, the
mortality low. In the remarks attached to the June quarter, it is stated that there was
an evident tendency in the mortality to decline through the 7 spring quarters
1839-45; kut that in the spring of 1846, this tendency was counteracted, and the
deaths exceeded the average. The deaths in London, at the close of June, from
diarrhoea, dysentery, and common cholera, rose to 40 weekly. The progress of the
epidemic abroad, and the bad sanitary condition of London and many towns, justified
the warning in the remarks of this quarter, — not to wait until cholera reached the
country, but to look before, and to remove the nuisances which give the disease breath,
life, and being, Tne air was 2° above the average temperature, and the horizontal
movement was less than it was in spring, 1844, in the proportion of 655 to 948 miles
weekly. In the summer quarter (July, August, September) of 1846, an extensive
epidemic prevailed. The 5 weeks from July 11 to August 15 were the most fatal in
London. Young children were the principal sufferers : it had the usual symptoms of
cholera infantum. “The disease also proved fatal to many old people; and some
adults died of attacks which could not in their symptoms be distinguished from Asiatic
cholera. It was, however, quite evident from the first that the epidemic had not the
characters of (hat malady which broke out here in the winter of 1832, but was closely
allied to the cholera described by Sydenham, which he says lasted a month and — “ earn
anni 'partem , quae cestatem fugientem atque autumnum imminentem complectitur
(unice ac eadem prorsus fide , qua veris primordia hirundines, aut insequentis
lempestatis fervorem cucidus), amare consuevit.”*
While the deaths in London were little more than 14 per cent, above the return of
1845, the deaths rose from 25,166 to 38,826 — or about 52 per cent, after a correction
fir increase of population— in the towns and other districts of the kingdom, included
in the return. In some of the densely-peopled towns the mortality was doubled. The
deaths in the corresponding summer quarters of the past and present year were, in
Maidstone, 124 and 239; Brighton, 219 and 364; Portsea Island, 239 and 433;
Winchester, 89 and 141 ; Oxford, 89 and 194; Northampton, 182 and 220; Bedford,
182 and 255 ; Ipswich, 119 and 240; Norwich, 308 and 454; Plymouth, 191 and
279 ; Clifton, 323 and 436 ; Worcester, 106 and 173 ; Dudley, 457 and 745 ; Walsall,
1 57 and 288 ; Wolverhampton, 438 and 687 ; Wolstanton and Burslem, 164 and 315*
Coventry, 188 and 300; Nottingham, 285 and 467 ; Lincoln, 154 and 246. No such
mortality has been witnessed in Birmingham for many years; the deaths in 1845 were
694, in 1846 they amounted to 1623. In Liverpool and the adjacent district of West
Derby, the deaths in the summer quarters of 1845 and 1846 were 2596 and 4090; in
Manchester, and the contiguous districts of Salford and Chorlton, 2408 persons died in
1845, and 4297 in 1846. Stockport, Macclesfield, Chester, Blackburn, Preston, Bury,
Bolton, Wigan, Prescot, Ashton, and other districts of Cheshire and Lancashire,
suffered to an equal or a greater extent. The districts of Yorkshire did not escape ;
1039 persons died in Sheffield, where only 446 died in the summer quarter of 1845, and
the mortality in any preceding summer since 1838 had never exceeded 647. Hudders-
field, Leeds, Hull, and York suffered severely. In Sunderland, Gateshead, Tyne-
mouth, and Newcastle-on-Tyne, 1170 deaths were recorded in the summer quarter of
1845, and 2313 in the corresponding quarter of 1846. The epidemic was apparently
as fatal in the inland towns as in the ports.
Upon the other hand, the mortality of the quarter was below the average in Pontypool
and Newtown; but slightly above the average in the other districts of Wales; and
generally the country and southern districts suffered comparatively little. f

Cholera and Influenza, 1847-8.
The diarrhoea was in some districts of a dysenteric character, but generally chole-
raic, and often terminated in English cholera. At Nottingham a case was returned as
Asiatic cholera, terminating in 12 hours. In London 1549 deaths in the quarter were
referred to diarrhoea, 75 to dysentery, and 197 to cholera. In the last quarter of the
year diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera, influenza, and typhus were unusually common in
London, and in many other town districts. The iron, coal, pottery, cotton, and woollen
districts, and generally the counties north of Staffordshire, were severely visited.
Scarlatina was fatal in the northern districts. In the year 2152 deaths were referred
to diarrhoea, 228 to cholera, in London-.
1847. The temperature of the winter quarter was below the average; inflammation
of the lungs aud typhus prevailed. Diarrhoea and fever raged among the poor starv-
ing Irish, who flew from the famine caused by the potato failure to England. From
the same cause provisions were dear; there was much distress in many parts of the
country. In the spring quarter (April, May, June), the mortality, in the words of the
Quarterly Report, “ increased ; common cholera was fatal ; scurvy prevailed more or
less over the country from the want of vegetable food, the potato having failed; all
food became scarce and dear; typhus broke out, is still epidemic, and shows no sign
of decline.” In the summer quarter (July, August, September), the mortality slightly
decreased in the country ; in London there was no sign of improvement. Small-pox,
measles, scarlatina, diarrhoea, dysentery (slightly), typhus, and ervsipelas prevailed:
ill persons died of typhus in one week ; epidemics of typhus and influenza set in,
and made the mortality in the last quarter of the year higher than in any quarter of
any year since the registration commenced. The mortality in London was raised by
influenza from 1086 in the week ending November 20, to 1677 in the week ending
November 27; 2454 in the first, 2416 in the second week of December: the
epidemic and the mortality then gradually declined. The deaths, directly or indi-
rectly caused by influenza, were not less than 5000 in six weeks. In the year
diarrhoea was fatal to 1976, cholera to 1 1 7 persons, in London: 307 deaths were
referred to dysentery.
1848. The influenza epidemic extended into the winter quarter of 1848 (January,
February, March), and the mortality was greatly above the average. Typhus, scarla-
tina, hooping-cough, and small-pox were epidemic in many parts. The mortality of
Birmingham, Sheffield, Manchester, and Liverpool remained exceedingly high. Inthe
next three months “ a very remarkable improvement in the state of the public health ”
was observed ; the mortality was but slightly above the average of the season. In-
fluenza was no longer epidemic in London. Typhus, which was fatal to 1279 persons
in the last quarter of 1847, declined from that time, and in the June quarter of 1848
was only fatal to 882 persons. “ There is as yet no trace of the epidemic of cholera,
which is ravaging Russia from Moscow to St. Petersburgh, and is ascending the
Danube.”* The mortality in the summer quarter (three months, July, August, Sep-
tember) was below the average. “ The improvement in the public health is consider-
able, in all the divisions of the kingdom, except London.” * The principal seats of
the carpet, iron, pottery, silk, and cotton trades are particularly cited ; and the improve-
ment is ascribed to the comparative cheapness of provisions, and the infrequency
of fever consequent upon the diminution of Irish immigration. Diarrhoea was,
however, prevalent in Brighton, Ipswich, and Yarmouth, in Dudley, Walsall, Co-
ventry, Birmingham, and Leeds. Dysentery was rather more fatal than usual ; it
caused 65 deaths in Penzance, and was also fatal to many persons in Marazion, the
neighbouring sub-district. The mortality of the autumn quarter (October, November,
December) was “ below the average;” yet cases of “Asiatic” or “ epidemic” cho-
lera occurred in October, and in the remaining months of the year.
1934 deaths were referred to cholera; 829 in the first nine months, and 1 105 in the
last three months of the year 1848. The former were generally considered cases of
common “English” cholera; many of the latter were universally held to be “Asiatic”
cholera. The two forms are often not distinguished in the rcturus. The cases, sepa-

rately considered, run so insensibly into each other, that the attempt at distinction
would have been fruitless. They differ perhaps, in fact, no more than distinct and
confluent small-pox, simple and malignant scarlatina, simple and phlegmonous
erysipelas, which are properly held to be varieties of the same maladies.
Without entering into any disquisition in pathology, it is also necessary to notice here
the connexion of diarrhoea and sporadic cholera with Asiatic cholera. Diarrhoea, in
the sense of u dejectio frequens ,” frequently accompanies teething in children; it is
the result of a whole class of medicines, and of irritating, indigestible food. Many poi-
sons induce it. It is one of the most constant symptoms of typhus, and runs insensibly
into dysentery. The last stage of consumption is marked by colliquative diarrhoea.
Like pain and “ fever,” it is a symptom of many diseases. “ It is often brought on
by that power which is exerted in every part of the body of freeing itself from any-
thing painful and oppressive” (Heberden’s Commentaries). The ulceration of the
intestines in typhoid fever, in consumption, and in dysentery, are its common causes ; in
many cases no structural change can be detected in the mucous membrane ; and many
of the purgative medicines are first absorbed and taken into the blood before their
specific action is induced.
In abstracting the cases of 1849, for the series of tables in this volume, all cases
returned as “ cholera,” whether English or Asiatic, cholerine, “ bowel complaint,”
and diarrhoea simply, or as a complication of other diseases, were transcribed. All
the cases in which the term “ cholera” or “ choleraic diarrhoea” occurred, were re-
ferred to cholera; about 300 cases, in which diarrhoea was evidently a symptom of
consumption, or some other disease, were struck out; the residue of the cases was
classed under diarrhoea.
Excluding the symptomatic affection, such as is observed in fever, consumption, and
enteritis, there is evidently an idiopathic disease, which may properly be called
diarrhoea, and is as constantly observed in English towns when the temperature rises
above 6o° as bronchitis and catarrh when the temperature falls below 32 ’.
Again, wherever dysentery is epidemic, a great number of cases occur which exhibit
all the intermediate symptoms between simple purging without fever and the cha-
racteristic fever, pain, and bloody mucous discharges of dysentery. The dysentery
often begins as simple diarrhoea. In such circumstances the diarrhoea is really a con-
stituent part of epidemic dysentery, modified by the condition, place, and age of the
patients. In like manner, the diarrhoea which is generally prevalent at the same
time as cholera, often painless, with rice-water evacuations,* vomitings, and slight
spasms, is to be held, in its various shades, a constituent part of the cholera epidemic.
Many of the cases of diarrhoea in 1 849, it maybe held, however, were of a simple
character, and of the same nature as the diarrhoeas of other years.
We shall now give a more particular account of the progress of cholera in 1848, and
of the first appearance of the new epidemic form.
CHOLERA IN LONDON, 1848.
London. — In London deaths \vere referred to cholera in every month of 1848: 3 were
registered in the weeks of January, 3 in February, 2 in March, 4 in April, 3 in May,
8 in June; the increase taking place in the third week of June, when the mean
daily temperature rose and remained above 6o°. The disease was epidemic, and
the deaths registered in July were 66, in August 64, in September 31. The deaths
from cholera registered in each week of these three months w’ere, 3, 7, 9, 21, 26, 21,
19, 17, 7, 7, 7,6, 7, 4. This epidemic subsided in September; it presented little that
w;as extraordinary in its course, or in the number of cases. The deaths registered from
cholera in the first week of October were 13, and in the twelve subsequent weeks of the
quarter, 30, 45, 34, 65, 62, 54, 34, 20, 21, 29, 31, and 30. The temperature was

declining; yet the mortality increased rapidly in October, and 65 persons died from
cholera in the first week of November. The cases were severe and rapidly fatal. It
was evidently the epidemic cholera — the Asiatic cholera. To every one accustomed to
observe popular disease the difference in the two forms was striking. Some extracts
from the weekly table will show their different characters. The following is from the
notes to the week when the common summer epidemic of cholera was at its height : —
Cases of Cholera Registered in the Week ending July 29 th.
In Bel "rave (sub-district) F. 54, “Asiatic cholera (58 hours' duration).''
Mr. Jorden, the Registrar, states that “ this was a distinct case of Asiatic cholera (?), occurring in
his own practice, of whicli he had seen much both at home and in the East. The patient was said to have
suffered from a severe attack, when it prevailed before, some 16 years ago. She was of delicate health,
and suffered from psoriasis inveterata. She was attacked suddenly in bed at 4 o’clock in the morning,
having the day before dined on half-boiled cabbage and some sort of dumpling.’’

In St. Mary, St. George-in-the-East, M. 59 years, “English cholera (6 dags).’’
In Limehouse, F. 40 years, “ cholera (3 dags), collapse (25 hours).”
In Ratclifl'e, M. 51 years, “ cholera maligna (30 hours).’’
In Lambeth Church sub-district (2nd part), at 137 Regent-street, F. 16 years, “English cholera

In same sub-district, M. 24 years, “spasmodic cholera (4 dags).”
In East sub-district of Greenwich, M. 61 years, “cholera.”
In same sub-district, M. 71 years, “cholera ^4 dags)."
In same sub-district, M. 60 years, “ asthma (20 gears), cholera (4 dags)."
In same sub-district, a girl, 1 year, “ cholera.”
In Battersea, a boy, 1 year, “cholera (4 dags)."
In all the cases of cholera, except one returned by the coroner, the cause of death was certified by
the medical attendant.
Cases approaching the Asiatic form occurred early in the year. I11 the week ending
May 6th, a woman of 75 died of cholera in Rotherhithe, after 5 days’ illness ; another,
aged 43, died of cholera in Oxford Terrace, after 2 days’ illness. In the following week
ending May 13th, a woman aged 40 died in Aldgate, Whitechapel. A note stated that
“the case presented the appearance of Asiatic cholera, viz., purging constant, no bile in
stool, cholera voice, suppression of urine; died in four days, in a state of collapse.” In
the week ending June 3, a boy aged 12 years, died of cholera in Rotherhithe, after 48
hours’ illness. A man aged 51, died of Asiatic cholera, according to the return of the
week ending June 17th, in the Hanover Square sub-district, after 36 hours’ illness. In
the week ending July 8th, a man aged 68, was returned as having died of Asiatic
cholera in Greenwich East. Again, on September 12th, a pilot, aged 55, died of
Asiatic cholera (36 hours’ duration), at 8, Frederick Street, Greenwich West; and was
registered in the week ending September 1 6th . On September 22nd, a mariner, aged
<2, died aft* r 11^ hours’ illness of “Asiatic cholera,’’ at 8, New Lane, St.John,
Horsleydown, in the district of St. Olave. These were probably two real cases of the
new epidemic form ; still the contrast of the October returns with that of the last
week of September is striking. t

In the same house, on October 6, F. 2 years, daughter of a carpenter, “ diarrhoea, convulsions.”
Mr. Beusted, the Registrar of St. John, Horsleydown, states, “ These two cases were those of a father
and daughter, who lived at No. 13, Sard’s-rents, Church-street, St. John’s, Southwark; the latter died
of 1 diarrhoea, followed by convulsions ;’ the former of ‘ malignant cholera,’ was attacked at 12 o’clock
on Friday, October 14th, and died at 4 p. m, on Saturday. From inquiries I have made, it appears that
he was a very sober and industrious man; that he and his wife were cleanly in their habits, but that one or
other of the family has been constantly ill since they lived in their present residence. There are, 1 believe,
upwards of 20 houses within 4 or 5 feet of a filthy open sewer, and this fact has been constantly repre-
sented to me (as Registrar) by the inhabitants of those houses. The illness which is caused by so great a
nuisance can hardly be wondered at, for in some places I do not think it is above 3 feet from their
doors. The deceased lias left two children, one not out of danger, and the other very ill. These circum-
stances have been the more impressed on my attention by a visit from the medical gentlemen (Messrs. Phil-
lips and Button) who atteuded the cases, and state, as their opinion, that this open sewer was the prin-
cipal cause of the illness.”

Mr. Rixon, the Registrar of the sub-district, Woolwich Arsenal, makes the following statement: —
“ The seven deaths from Asiatic cholera, registered by me last week, occurred in the “ Unite ’’
hospital ship, among convicts from the “ Justitia’ hulk, lying oft the Royal Arsenal wharf. The surgeon
attributes the disease to the unhealthy state of the atmosphere and to the locality, a common sewer being
in the immediate vicinity. The captain of the ship ascribes it to the rotten condition of the hulk, and to
heat generated during the night by so many men being closely packed together, a ward having from ten to
twenty-four men sleeping in it, according to its size. The last two cases were of athletic young men, and
lasted four days. The former patient was pulseless from the first, and comatose during lour hours previous
to death — the latter was sensible to the last. They were carefully attended to, visited every hour night and
day; and were treated witn mercury, mustard poultices, stimulants, and all the usual remedies. The
whole of the convicts were removed yesterday (the 20th instant) from the “Justitia,” and put on board
the “Hebe” and “Sulphur” receiving vessels, opposite the Royal Dockyard, which arrangement, I find,
has created some alarm in the yard. This morning (Saturday) a rigger was taken home from the Dock-
yard very ill, and afterwards a shipwright, and both cases are pronounced by the surgeons as decided
cholera. Otherwise, the town remains free. Scarlatina is still very prevalent.”
In Chelsea, North East (sub-district), M. 15 years, “epidemic cholera (3 days’ duration).”
In same sub-district, a boy, 6 years, “epidemic cholera (9 hours’ duration) .”
Mr. Smith, the Registrar of the north-east sub-district of Chelsea, states that “ the two boys
belonged to the same family. The elder was employed on board a lighter at Isleworth, and had eaten
heartily of mussels on the day before the attack. Finding himself ill, he returned home under heavy rain,
which wetted him to the skin. His parents, who are in poor circumstances, procured medical aid, but
were not able to provide the comforts necessary for his case; and to the want of these, the surgeon thinks,
is principally owing the fatal termination. The younger was constantly in the room during bis brother’s
illness, but was not seized till after his death. His illness is attributed by the medical attendant not merely
to contagion, but to miasma generated in a badly ventilated and comfortless apartment, and increased by
the presence of a sick person.”
In Islington East (sub-district), son of a paper-stainer, 3 years, “ cholera epidemica (18 hours’
duration).”
Mr. Butterfield, the Registrar of the East sub-district of Islington, states that “ the boy who resided at
15, Lower Queen-street, New North Road, was taken ill at hall-past 6, A.M., with rigors, bilious vomiting,
and purging with rice-coloured evacuations, and all the symptoms of true cholera. Medical advice was
not obtained till half-past twelve, when it did not avail. The patient died at halt-past one, a.m., on
Saturday, after an illness of 18 hours. Miasma issuing from an open, offensive drain in the backyard,
seemed to be the primary cause.” Dr. Bossy, who attended the above, has another decided case in an
adult, which has not been fatal.”

The term “ English” cholera is objectionable, as it implies that the disease is peculiar
to England ; whereas it prevails, in nearly ttie same form, all over the world, and is
described by Celsus and the ancient writers, as well as by Sydenham. For the sake of
distinction, as it is so much under the control of temperature and season, it may be
called “ Summer Cholera.” About half the fatal cases of Asiatic cholera terminate
within 24 hours of the appearance of its characteristic symptoms: it will be shown here-
after that the average duration of 19232 fatal cases in males was 2 *06 days, and of
20236 cases in females 2 ’ 10 days.
The average duration of 4045 fatal cases of diarrhoea in males was i6’04 days, of
3851 females 16*69 days. The summer cholera has an intermediate duration of about
five days. The difference is seen in the subjoined table of cases taken indiscriminately
from the Returns of 1848 : more than half the cases of Asiatic cholera terminated in less
than a day ; half the cases of summer cholera did not terminate in three days; and
half the cases of diarrhoea lasted more than six days. This is a new and important
element in the diagnosis.

Such was the course of the epidemic cholera in England to the close of the year 1848.
CHOLERA IN ENGLAND, 1849.
1849. The tables, pp. 20-107, and the notes, pp. 166-300, show the progress of cholera
through the year 1849. The state of the public health was described in the quarterly
and weekly returns; and it is now possible, from all these sources, comprising facts
recorded and observations written at the time, to trace the effects of the epidemic, and
the extent of its ravages through the year.
The deaths in England from cholera were, in January, 658; in February, 371 ; in
March, 302 : yet, it was remarked, in the quarterly return, “ although epidemic cholera
has been in England since October, 1848, and has prevailed more or less up to the
present time in parts of the country, the general mortality has been and is considerably
below the average. This is encouraging, and should stimulate all sanatory improve-
ments, for summer is the season in which the epidemic is most to he dreaded.* The
deaths from cholera in London were 292 in January, 180 in February, 40 in March.
It will be recollected that in October 1848, the epidemic attacked the convicts
crowded in the decaying “ Justitia” hulk, lying off the Royal Arsenal wharf, Woolwich,
in the immediate vicinity of a common sewer ; subsequently it was fatal to convicts in
Millbank Prison and to lunatics in thePeckham House Asylum ; the registrars stated that
many of the houses in which patients were attacked were crowded, and in dirty un-
drained sites. In the last week of December the epidemic broke out in Mr. Drouet’s
Infant Poor Establishment, Surrey Hall, Tooting, where 48 of the 61 deaths registered
from cholera in the first week of January occurred. In the week following 69 deaths from
cholera were registered at the same establishment. It is stated in a note to the Weekly
Return (January 20th 1849), that “ the total deaths which have occurred in the institu-
tion, or amongst children who have been removed from it since the appearance of the
epidemic, amount to 182, of which 155 were returned as caused by cholera.” The
children at ages from 4 to 14, were paupers fanned out, and the building was over-
crowded. In the week following 13 persons died of the epidemic cholera in the Holborn
Union workhouse, where a few more cases occurred in the subsequent week. Some of
the children of this Union were in Drouet’s Establishment. Several of the children
belonging to Pancras were removed and died in the workhouse, Camden Town. Mr.

Holl, after stating that “ three children who died in the workhouse had been brought
from Tooting while under the influence of the disease,” adds: — “ The woman, aged 64,
died in the infirmary of the workhouse quite unconnected with that part of the house
which the children occupied, and not allowed to have any communication with it.” *
Mr. Steib, the registrar of Hackney, registered two deaths from cholera in the same
week. “ The former was a decided case of Asiatic cholera in a servant who belonged
to the Islington poor-house, and had been brought to Hackney to nurse the sick children.
The second was in a girl belonging to the Islington poor-house, who had been brought
to Hackney from Drouet’s Asylum, Tooting.” In the week ending February 3rd, 9 out
of 10 cases registered in Kensington town occurred in Jennings’ Buildings. In the week
ending February 24th, the deaths of the matron, the temporary matron, seven servants,
and a girl aged 11, were registered at the Female Refuge for the Destitute, in St.
Leonards, Shoreditch; and, in the same week, 16 deaths from cholera were registered
in Warburton’s Lunatic Asylum. A great number, then, of the deaths from cholera in
the early stage of the epidemic occurred in institutions of various kinds. The work-
house of Edmonton and the gaol of Hertford were attacked in January. Two parishes
in Norfolk were attacked early in the year. A labourer’s wife, aged 48, died of the
disease on January 5 th, at West Rudliam, where four more persons died, and 12 in East
Rudham, before February 14th. Eleven of the 17 deaths were in labourers’ families.
The parishes are inland, and contained 1 494 inhabitants in 1841. No other deaths from
cholera occurred there. At Wakefield, in Yorkshire, there w'as a partial outbreak ; 1 9
deaths from cholera happened between the 9th and 24th of January, 16 of them in the
House of Correction. In August the epidemic recurred in this house, and 86 deaths
from cholera, 36 from diarrhoea, took place in the year.
The epidemic, which began at Selby in the latter part of 1848, prevailed until
February 5th, and was fatal to some persons at Goole. In the Union workhouse of
Howden, cholera was fatal to 10 persons between January 5th and February nth.
The epidemic was fatal at Gateshead in January and February ; at Sunderland in March
and April. The epidemic continued to prevail in Berwick-upon-Tweed; at Shore-
houses, Spittal, a fisherman, his wife, and three children died of the disease between
January 6th and 12th.
In April the epidemic very much subsided, and only 107 deaths were referred to
cholera in England. There were no deaths from the disease upon the 8th, 14th, and
26th ; the only days which enjoyed this exemption in the year. There were in the
month only 9 deaths from cholera in London, and the mortality was chiefly in the
north-western and northern divisions of England. In May the deaths from cholera
were 327 ; the fatal period of the epidemic set in at Liverpool, and went on through
June, when the deaths were 2046 in all England- South Wales was now suffering,
and at the end of June the deaths from cholera rapidly increased in London. Some
alarm was felt, but, practically, little progress was made in the sanatory defences of the
country. This was adverted to in the Quarterly Return as well as the mortality which
the epidemic might cause : —
“ The epidemic cholera, which reached England in October, 1848, and is now causing
many deaths in London, Liverpool, and other places, will, it is true, increase the
general mortality in the months of July, August, and September as it did before; but
the ravages of cholera, of typhus, and of the insidious influenza, which threaten the
country, may be greatly mitigated if the same talent and energy are applied to the im-
provement of the public health, as have been applied to other great undertakings in
which England has engaged.
“ Registration did not exist in 1832; hut it appears from the returns then made to the
Board of Health, that in London 994 persons died of cholera in the first part of the
epidemic, extending from February 14 to May 15, 1832; 4266 in the second part,
extending from June 15 to October 31; and 15 in November and December.
Allowing for defective returns in 1832, it is not probable that the fatality of cholera
will be greater in 1849 than it was then ; or that the danger will amount to more than

this, that for a few weeks an inhabitant of London will incur the same chance of dying
in one week as he usually incurs in two or three weeks.” — Report for Quarter
ending June 30 th, 1849.
The epidemic broke out at Gloucester in May; two cases were fatal on May 8th,
in the sub-district of St. Nicholas. The disease spread, and continued through the
following months ; the last death occurred on November nth. In the Union work-
house at Keynsham, which lies between Bristol and Bath, an agricultural labourer died
on May 5th of a diarrhoea, said to be of 4 weeks' duration ; on the same day a labourer,
aged 32, died of cholera after 12 hours’ illness. Between May 6th and May I2th, 9
more paupers died in the Union workhouse. On May nth a solicitor in Keynsham
died: the disease then attacked the other inhabitants of the place, and was fatal to 56
persons in May and June, 13 of whom died in the Union workhouse. Clifton and
Bristol were attacked in June, the first case occurring at Bristol on June 1st. Cardiff,
on the other side of the Bristol Channel, was attacked in May, and Merthyr Tydfil very
fatally in June, a few cases only having happened in two sub-districts in May. The
deaths from cholera in Liverpool were 18 in March, 19 in April, 96 in May, and 424 in
June; in West Derby 6 in May, 92 in June. In Sunderland the deaths which had
been 133 in March were 12 in April, o in May, 1 in June. Durham experienced the
highest mortality in June ; the deaths from cholera were 3 in March, 2 in April, 15 in
May, 75 in June, 31 in July, 8 in August.
In the summer, the epidemic advanced rapidly ; and in all England cholera was
fatal to 7570 persons in July, 15872 in August, and 20379 in September; or dividing
the quarter into weeks, the deaths in the 13 weeks from the 27th to the 39th inclusive,
were 822, 1535, 2202, 2164, 2565, 2959, 4092, 3921, 4691,7148,5444,3458,311(1
2724. The mortality was highest in the 36th week of the year, when cholera alone de-
stroyed 7148 !i\es. On Wednesday, September 5th, it was fatal to 1120, on Thursday,
September 6th, to 1121 persons. On these two days the epidemic was at its highest
point. The deaths on August 31st were 570 ; the increase in September was remark-
able: the deaths on Saturday, September 1st, were 739, and on the 9 days following
866, 888, 969, 1120, 1121, 1000, 992, 1058, 891. The fatality of the disease sensibly
decreased on September nth; on that and the 9 following days the deaths were 792,
793, 876, 731, 717, 644, 615, 604, 554, and 471, gradually subsiding to 380 on the last
dav of the month. The epidemic was at its maximum on August nth in Wales, on
September 4th in London, on September 5th— 6th in the West-Midland, the Nortu-
Western, and York divisions, on September 1 4th— 1 5 th in the Northern division.
The decline of the epi lemic was more rapid than its increase; while it was fatal to
2°379 persons in September, 4654 died of it in October, 844 in November, and 163
in December. The mortality in October was chiefly in the South-Western, Wfst-
Midland, North-Western, York and Northern divisions; in London, the South-
Eastern, the Eastern, the North-Midland and Welsh divisions, the mortality was
much less considerable: while 54 deaths from cholera occurred in England on the last,
day of October, 11 occurred on the last day of November; and on the last day of
December 2 persons died, one in Shropshire, and one in Durham.
Diarrhoea was more fatal than cholera in the months of January, February, March,
April, and May ; in June the mortality from cholera was twice as great as the mortality
from diarrhoea; in July, August, and September the mortality from diarrhoea and
cholera increased ; but the mortality from cholera became fourfold that from diarrhoea;
in October it was only twice as great; in November the deaths from diarrhoea exceeded
in number the deaths from cholera, and in December the deaths from diarrhoea were
592, from cholera 163. The annexed table (p. xxiii) exhibits the deaths in each month
from the two forms of disease.
Many of the cases of diarrhoea were such ordinary cases as every year occur ; but
diarrhoea is one of the earliest and most common symptoms of cholera, and many cases
differed only from cholera in the absence of “spasms,” or of some of the striking rather
than the essential symptoms. 12045 of the 18887 deaths referred to diarrhoea were in
children under 5 years of age; and the symptoms of cholera as well as of other diseases
at that early age undergo considerable modification.

THE LONDON CHOLERA FIELD, 1849.
The distribution of the epidemic over the country may now be shown. London was
the centre of a great system of attack which extended to Hertford and Hitchin, West
Ham, Romford and Rochford on the north side of the Thames ; to Dartford and Graves-
end, Margate and Ramsgate, Dover, Croydon and Brighton, in Kent and Sussex.
The disease, like a smouldering fire, broke out as the temperature advanced in
London. The return for the week ending May 12th “ indicated a continued tendency
in the public health to improve. The deaths from all causes were 905, or 58 less than
the average; the deaths in the week following were 1033; the wind was S.W., rain
fell to the extent of *67 inches, and the mean temperature of the air was 54°* 9, which
is 2° ’6 above the mean temperature of the week. In all London, only one little girl,
aged 5 years, died of cholera in 6 hours.”*
In the week ending May 26th, the deaths in London were only 897. “ The deaths
are fewer than in the corresponding week of any former year since 1846.” Three
women, however, died of cholera; one in St. John, Westminster; one a milliner in a
large house of business (246 Regent-street); and one, a tailor’s wife, at the German
Hospital, Dalston. Two children died of choleraic diarrhcea. The temperature was
56°'9, or i0,9 above the average ; the fall of rain was 1 *37 inches.
In the week ending June 2nd, 895 deaths were registered; 9 from cholera. The
mean temperature of the air was now 6oD’3, of the Thames water 63° • 5. The fall of
rain was i"6 inches; the wind sluggish N. and S.W. Negative electricity was
exhibited during heavy rain on Monday ; positive on Friday and Saturday. The deaths
from all causes were 971 ; and 22 were by cholera in the week ending June 9th. The
mean temperature of the air was 59°' 7 ; the temperature of the Thames was 6 50 • 7 .
1- The deaths in the week ending June 16th were 912, which is less than the average
number; while the deaths in the tubercular class, diseases of the nervous system, and
diseases of the respiratory organs declined, zymotic diseases increased ; and cholera
was fatal to 42 persons. The temperature of the air was low, 53°’ 5 ; of the Thames
62°. The deaths in the next week were 985, only 22 above the corrected average; 49
were from cholera. The temperature of the air was 590' 2 ; of the Thames 62°.
In the week ending June 30th, 1217 deaths were registered ; 124 by cholera. The
cholera was by far the most prevalent on the south side of the Thames. The tem-
perature of the air in the beginning of the week was much above the average; the
temperature of the Thames was 66° ’6 during the week.
The deaths in the week ending July 7th were only 1070; but cholera increased,
and the deaths which it caused were 152. The mean temparature of the air was 62°’ 7 ;
on Saturday the thermometer reached 82° in the shade, I03°’ 5 in the sun.
In the second week of July, the mortality first rose sensibly above the average ; the
deaths were 1369; and the increase was referrible to cholera, which was the cause of
339 deaths; 102 deaths of children under 15 jears of age, 192 adults of 15 and
* The number of deaths cited in the weekly tables of London invariably refer to the deaths registered
in the week. The deaths are registered at a certain interval after their occurrence ; consequently the
deaths registered in a week are not all deaths that occur in the week. The deaths occurring on every
day are given in the subsequent tables.

under 60, and 45 of aged persons. The northern districts suffered least, the southern
most. The air was stagnant, and the wind in the N.N.E. ; the sky was cloudless, and
no rain fell. The mean temperature of the air was 66° • 8 ; of the Thames 68° • 7 .
The mortality increased, and the deaths from all causes were 1741 in the third week
of July ; 678 of the deaths were by cholera, 1 31 by diarrhoea. The high north districts
still enjoyed comparative immunity (7 deaths from cholera) ; the hottest attack was
directed to the south side of the Thames, where 443 of the deaths occurred. Poplar, in
the east, suffered severely ; 37 deaths from cholera were returned. The mean tem-
perature of the week fell to 6o°*5 ; the winds were stirring, the sky was overcast,
lightning flashes were seen on the 19th and 20th; the thunder was followed by showers
and heavy rain.
July 22nd to July 28. “ Again the return indicates an increase on the excessive
mortality of the previous week. The deaths from all causes rose to 1931 ; a num-
ber which is almost double the weekly average, and exceeds that of the previous week
by nearly 200. Influenza in 1847 raised the mortality more rapidly; the deaths from
all causes, in the first 4 weeks of that epidemic, were 1086, 1677, 2454, and 2416;
while, in the 4 first weeks of the cholera epidemic, the deaths Irom all causes have been
1070, 1369, 1741, and 1931. The deaths from cholera are 783, from diarrhoea 224.
The districts on the south side of the river still form the field on which the disease is
most active. There is a slight decrease in the eastern districts.” In the whole of the
western and northern districts the deaths are only 68. Cholera is, for the first time,
more fatal to females than to males; the deaths having been 383 males, 401 females.
The mean temperature is 58°' 9 ; the fall of rain in the week is 2°’ 1 5 inches. The wind
is S.W., and moves at a rate of about 100 miles a-day. On the afternoon of the 26th
a violent thunder-storm occurred, the flashes of lightning were vivid and in quick suc-
cession, followed by loud thunder at intervals of 15 to 20 seconds generally. Rain was
falling heavily during the storm.
July 29 to August 4th. The deaths registered from all causes are 1967, from
cholera 926. Diarrhoea has decreased ; it is the cause of 179 deaths. “ Other epidemics
are under the average, except hooping-cough, which a little exceeds it.” The epidemic
is still chiefly on the south side of the Thames, where 621 of the 926 deaths occurred.
The temperature of the air (59°* 5) still remains below the average.
The mortality from all causes increased little ; and, in the week following, the
mortality from cholera declined. The people generally were ready to believe that the
epidemic was giving way; and the efforts which had been commenced without much
vigour, and with little confidence in their efficacy by the local authorities, were sus-
pended. Looking at the course of the epidemic in 1832, at the preceding low and
now high temperature, at the field of operations which had hitherto been very much
confined to the south side of the river, and were now extended to the north, it was
evident that the danger was increasing, and that more active exertions were required.
The registrars were requested to extend their returns; and the weekly tables were
accompanied by such observations as, in the emergency, appeared likely to be useful
and to save life.
The following extracts from the Weekly Tables exhibit the progress and effects of the
epidemic at its height: —
Auanst ^th-Xlth. — The deaths in London during the week ending Saturday, August nth, are 1909. The
mortality it somewhat less than it was in the previous week. The deaths from all causes in the last six weeks
were 10,0. 1569, 1741, 1931, 1967, and 1909; of which 393, 630, 1002, 1173, 1308, and 1185, were by
diseases of the zymotic class. Small-pox, scarlatina, and hooping-cough are comparatively quiescent ;
typhus is more fatal than it was. The excess of 901 deaths over the average is due to diarrhoea and
cholera, which were fatal to 173 and 823 persons. The deaths from cholera during the last six weeks
were 152, 339, 678, 783, 926, and 823. The decrease is gratifying; but it is right to observe that the
improvement is chiefly confined to West Loudon, Poplar, St. George Southwark, Newington, Camberwell,
and Lambeth. The deaths from cholera in the two last weeks were 29 and 48 in Wandsworth ; 9 and 21
in I’aucras; 4 and 14 in Islington; 3 and 10 in London City; 16 and 35 in Bethnal Green; 15 and 35
in St. Giles. The deaths from all causes on the north side of the Thames (1118) were 89 more than the
deaths (1029) of the previous week. The parishes which have not yet been visited must be on their guard.
Those in which the epidemic has partially subsided should redouble their precautions. The epidemic of
1832 broke out in three successive eruptions; the first commencing in February, was at its maximum in
XXV
London Weekly Reports , 1849.
April and subsided ; the second rose rapidly from June to July, and sunk again down to the second week
of August; its course was very much like that pursued by the present epidemic. The deaths returned by
the parish clerks in the three weeks from July 17 to August 7, in 1832, were 968, 793, 661 ; which,
allowing for the defects in their returns and for increase of population, are equivalent to 2323, 1903, 1586,
or 5812 deaths in 1849, when the deaths registered in the corresponding weeks were 1931, 1967, 1909, or
5807 in the three weeks July 21st to August nth. A third eruption in 1832 broke out at the end of
August, and extended to the first weeks of September ; a fourth in 1833.
ft is satisfactory to find that the deaths of 819 out of the 823 persons who died last week of cholera are
certified. They were seen by qualified medical attendants. But it is to be feared that the advice was not
obtained in time. The accounts of the sudden stoppage of the epidemic by prompt medical treatment
and the house-to-house visitation are perhaps over-coloured. But a mortality as high now as in 1832
should not take place: it may be prevented by improvements in the treatment — by arresting the premoni-
tory symptoms — by still earlier attention to the general health. Medical men are called when the people
are dying; but it is then too late. If the families of the middle and higher classes were seen at intervals
during the epidemic by their medical attendants, and a corps of medical officers employed by the
Guardians to visit the poor at short intervals, the present epidemic might very probably be cut short, and
a third eruption be averted. The precise locality in which almost every victim of cholera lived is given
in the present return under each district; would it not be practicable for the authorities to have all
these and the neighbouring localities inspected ? If this were done, and proper precautions taken,
the tragedy of Albion-terrace, Wandsworth-road, where 17 persons died in two weeks in ten houses,
could scarcely recur. The particulars of the 17 deaths will be found in the notes under Wandsworth
and Clapham. Another case appears this week in the note under Hampstead. In the house, No. 6,
Albion-terrace, Wandsworth, 5 deaths had been registered — a Wesleyan minister’s wife, aged 59 ; his mother,
80 ; a widow, 49 ; and two old servants. This is all we learn from the Clapham Registrar. The Registrar
of Hampstead adds, that, during the week, an aged man came with a friend to Hampstead for change of
air, — breakfasted, dined, went to London to transact business at the Bank of England, and after his return
seemed “ pretty well.” At six o’clock the next morning he felt ill, and had medical advice, but died in
eight hours. This old minister was apparently the last of his family, for he had seen his mother, wife, and
servants die before him in Albion-terrace, and could not fly from the poison which he carried in his
breast. Such desolation could scarcely happen without great negligence on the part of the people them-
selves and on the part of the authorities.
August l2tli-if>tli. — It is one of the characters of epidemic diseases, that in some years their fatality is
inconsiderable, in other years excessive. Since 1832 and 1833, cases of cholera have appeared in the
Tables, — but the deaths in the second week of August during the past five years have fluctuated from
1 to 23. In the week ending Saturday, August 1 8th, the deaths in London were 2230; of which 1230
were by cholera, 188 by diarrhoea. The deaths from all causes in the last seven weeks were 1070, 1369,
1741, 1931, 1967, 1909, and 2230; the deaths from cholera, 152, 339, 678, 783, 926, 823, and 1230.
The deaths from cholera exceed those in the previous week by 407; but in that week the mortality
declined. The population is about 2,206,000 ; so that nearly 1 in rooo of the inhabitants now die
weekly. The deaths from all diseases, except cholera, are 1000, which is the average number of the
season; and 539 were at ages under 15, 256 at the ages 15-60, 205 at the age of 60 and upwards. Of
the 1230 persons who died from cholera, 318 were under the age of 15, 721 were 15-60, and 191 were
60 and upwards : it carries off an excessive proportion of people in the prime of life. 597 males and 633
females died of the disease last week ; at an earlier period of the epidemic, the deaths of males exceeded
those of females. Of 6194 persons who have died of cholera in London since September 1848, 3524 have
died on the south side of the Thames. It has now crossed the River. The mortality last week increased
in the districts of St. George Southwark, Newington, and Lambeth : it broke out with extraordinary violence
in Greenwich ; and on the north side of the Thames — in Stepney, Shoreditch, and Bethnal Green — 55,98,
and 125 deaths were registered. The deaths from cholera in the last two weeks were 35 and 125 in
Bethnal Green, 21 and 98 in Shoreditch, 24 and 55 in Stepney, 42 and 76 in the districts of the East,
West, and City of London, comprehending the jurisdiction of the City properly so called, 7 and 24 in
Marylebone, 1 7 and 34 in Westminster district, 5 and 20 in Chelsea.
This excessive mortality must be viewed with great regret. Looking to the authentic reports of the
effects of general sanatory measures, and of efficient medical relief placed within the reach, or carried to
the homes of the people, it is quite evident that the measures now in operation are unequal to the emer-
gency. The classes which have the greatest claim for public succour are not idle, habitual paupers, but
tiie hard-working artizan : yet it is stated that in some parishes the arrangements are such that medical
relief is not procurable directly from the district medical officers, who are, to the utmost extent of their
powers, discharging their painful duties with praiseworthy diligence and humanity. In a disease which
so often attacks in the night, and is fatal in twenty-four hours, the poor have to procure orders before they
can be treated. Unless some change be made in these simple administrative arrangements, the mortality
from cholera may be higher than it has yet been in London.
To render all the assistance which the registration system can afford for the discovery and removal of
the causes of cholera, the Registrars were last week requested to state in each case — “ whether the house
or street in which the death occurred was close, ill cleansed, over-crowded, or otherwise unfavourable to
health.” The results will be found in the Notes [to the Weekly Table], which show, besides, the sex,
age, profession, duration of disease, date and place of death — in every fatal case of cholera and of diarrhoea
registered during the week.
August iqth-25th. — In the week ending Saturday, August 25th, the deaths registered in London were
XXVI

2456 ; of which 1272 were by cholera, 240 by diarrhoea. The deaths from all causes in each of the last
eight weeks were 1070, 1369, 1741, 1931, 1967, 1909, 2230, 2456; rhe deaths from cholera 152, 339, 678,
783, 926, 823, 1229, and 1272. Although the number of deaths last week is greater than any number
yet recorded, it is gratifying to learn that active measures are now in actual operation, or commencing
in every district, to combat the great epidemic which has already destroyed 7466 lives in London.
The energy with which parts of our institutions work makes the defects of the rest more evident. On
August 9th last, a man was murdered in Bermondsey, and before his death, reported by the coroner,
will appear in these returns, one— and it is probable both the persons charged with the murder will be in
custody. Steam-ships, the electric telegraph, the heads of the police, and professional agents, specially
chosen, were all employed to arrest the destroyers of this life; the columns of the newspapers were tilled
with the details of the death. On the same day a stock-broker died at No. 12, Albion-terrace, Wands-
worth-road ; a widow lady, and an old domestic servant at No. 6 ; in the five preceding days, in the same
terrace, the daughter of a grocer, a child of 5 years of age, had died at No. 1 ; the willow of a coach-
proprietor, and a commercial clerk, at No. 2 ; a gentleman’s widow at No. 3 ; a surgeon’s daughter at
No. 4 ; a spinster of 4: at No. 5 ; the wife of a dissenting minister, his mother, a widow lady, and a servant
at No. 6; a young woman of 2t at No. 10; a gentleman at No. 12, where the stock-broker died; a
commercial clerk and a young woman of 19 at No. 13, where a young woman also died on July 28th; a
gentleman’s wife at No. 14, who had seen her daughter die there the day before. The 19 persons
died of cholera, many of the inhabitants of the Terrace were dispersed ; and the deaths of several have been
registered elsewhere. “It appears,” says the Registrar, Mr. Frost, “that at No. 13, where the first
death occurred, and where 2 deaths were afterwards registered, the refuse of the house had been allowed
to accumulate in one of the vaults (which is a very large one) for about two years, and when removed
last week, the stench was almost intolerable, there being about two feet of wet soil, covered with maggots.
The drains also had burst, overflowed into the tank, and impregnated the water with which the houses
were supplied. On the back ground, in the distance, was an open ditch, into which nearly the whole
of the soil of Clapham runs.” As turpentine to flames, so is the exhalation of such cellars, tanks, and
sewers, to cholera; it broke out — it diffused itself rapidly — it attacked many; and 19 inhabitants — after
some hours of suffering, sickness, and spasms — expired.
The effects of decomposing refuse and water on health were well known — these fatal subsidies to cholera
had been heard of every day; yet no steps had been taken for their removal from Albion-terrace in July —
no medical police had interfered to disturb the contents of Mr. Biddle’s cellar — and now the 19 masters,
servants, parents, children rest in their graves, it appears to be taken for granted that blame attaches to
nobody — to nothing — not to the householders themselves — to the Guardians of the district — to the
institutions of the country 1 Such mean inanimate instruments of death can be invested with nr. dramatic
interest ; but fixing otu eyes on the victims, it is well worth considering whether substantially it is not as
much a part of the sound policy of the country that lives like those in Albion-terrace should be saved,
as that the murderers of the man in Bermondsey should be hanged.
The revelations of the state of their districts in the Registrars’ notes of this and last week prove that it
will be no easy task — not to stay the plague of cholera for it will subside — but to remove the evils which
make cholera and all epidemics fatal. The vast task of the physical amelioration of the population
demands the energies of the best men in Her Majesty's dominions. When, in the country from which
Asiatic cholera came, our armies seemed for a moment worsted, and the empire threatened, the great
captain of the age is reported to have addressed to another the memorable words, “ If you do not go I
must.” That enemy was distant. We have one now very near, in our streets, of which cholera, a servile
minister, has destroyed already 7466 lives in London, and thousands mme in the rest of the kingdom.
Who will go out against this enemy ? Is it too powerful or too feeble for the arm of the greatest? W ill
no glory crown its conquest? Is the country insensible to its magnitude? Will not all the national
strength and resources be put forth to improve the hygienic condition of the people, and to rid England
of the causes of the fatality of epidemics? This may yet be done by the Government, if aided by the
force of facts, and of enlightened public opinion.
Auqust 26 th to September 1st. — The deaths registered in London in the week ending September 1st
were 2796 ; of which 1 663 were by cholera, 234 by diarrhoea. The mortality exceeds that of any previous
week. The greatest number ever registered before in any week since 1840, was 2454 deaths, in the week
ending December 4, 1847, when the last epidemic of influenza prevailed. In the cholera epidemic of
1832, the parish clerks, in the old Bills of Mortality, returned 1021 burials for the week ending
August 28th ; which, allowing for the defects in their returns, and for increase of population, are
equivalent to 2430 deaths at the present time. The burials after that week in 1832 declined.
The mortality is nearly three times the average of the season, and is sensibly felt all over the metropolis;
but the inhabitants of the north and west districts, and people in the distance, can yet scarcely form a
notion of the suffering on the south side the Thames, and, since the middle of August, in the east
districts. “The 12th, 13th, and 14th of August,” says one of the Registrars of Bethnal Green, “will long
be remembered in this neighbourhood, the outbreak of this fatal disease being without any adequate
preparation ; surgeons were wanted in many places at once : the hurried passing and repassing of
messengers, and the wailing of relatives tilled the streets with confusion and woe, and impressed on all a
deep sense of an awful calamity.”
Cholera has already destroyed, in this epidemic, nine thousand one hundred and twenty-nine lives in
London.
As it is one of the purposes of the Registration Act to ascertain the “causes of death,” and of the
Weekly Tables, not to gratify idle curiosity, but to point these out to the public, the Registrars have been
requested to give all the information they cau respecting the state of every part of their districts. This

many of them have taken considerable pains to do, and their notes will, it is hoped, be found serviceable
to the guardians and medical inspectors, now and at future times. For it is important to bear in mind
that cholera only brings into a strong light the localities, which elaborate calculations in the Annual
Reports prove are at all times fatal to the health and life of the inhabitants.
Alter the perils of this terrible week we seem to see land ; but as many thousands of lives may be lost
in an epidemic by negligence, so, many thousands may be saved by skill, vigilance, and energy — by more
ample supples of water — by the rapid removal of nuisances from the houses and streets — by the prompt
administration of medical appliances and other comforts, by the active co-operation of the medical
profession, of the Boards of Guardians, of employers, of every householder, of every individual, with the
Board of Health and health officers.
On the clay the above remarks were written, Tuesday, September 4th, the mortality
in London was highest; 336 persons died of cholera during the day, 314 died on Wed-
nesday, 297 on Thursday, 284 on Friday, and 31 1 on Saturday. As the decline of the
epidemic was slow, and the registration takes place 3 or 4 days after death, the return
for the week ending September 8th was heavier than the return on the week preceding.
The mortality was now 3 times as high as the average; many people had lost friends
or acquaintances that they had lately seen alive : and the uninterrupted increase inspired
feelings of terror in some minds — a general uneasiness in all. Under these circumstances
it was deemed right to advert to the epidemic’s decline, which its previous course, the
law which governs its progress, its actual operations, and the season of the year — all
rendered probable, and next to certain.
The natural tendency of the public mind is to make no timely provision against distant
dangers, and to exaggerate dangers present; apathy had now given way to excitement,
which the announcement of the next week was unfortunately calculated to increase.
September 2nd to September 8 th. — The Bills of Mortality were commenced in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth; and ever since the year 1603, have been published by authority in London. In this respect
the English metropolis stands alone; no Weekly Tables of the causes of death of every inhabitant are
published in the capital of any other European state. Various motives for the measure have been
assigned ; but the fact of continuous publication, from a period anterior to the appearance of newspapers
and gazettes, is remarkable and characteristic. It may be fairly referred to the natural inclination of the
English people, when they are in trouble, to know the truth ; and to see in figures the precise extent of
their losses; although at times the sight might well make the courage of the bravest quail. On the
Continent “ precautions have been used ” in publishing the mortality of cholera in 1849 ; and the deaths
from all causes have not yet been made known. The parish clerks of London in the seventeenth century,
when the plague was at its height, counted the deaths and recorded their supposed causes ; and the citizen,
when the death-cart traversed the streets, anxiously studied the bill, surrounded by its gloomy symbolical
border, announcing 8297 deaths in a week out of a population of 600,000. In the hands of Price,
Heberden, Willis, Bateman, and other statists, these records have disclosed the laws of mortality, and the
causes of the insalubrity of the present cities.
One of their immediate advantages, however, is the evidence which they furnish that the most fatal and
threatening plagues go through, with some perturbations, certain prescribed orbits ; and after raging for a
given number of weeks, disappear. Plague, influenza, and cholera have been vanquished before; and to
despair now would be as unreasonable as it was in the beginning of the year to deny that the cholera
epidemic was impending. Those officers who are struggling with the triumphant enemy under every
disadvantage will yet be victors; for if they have art, they have also nature on their side.
The mortality in the week ending Saturday, September 8th, declined in the west and east districts of
London, and increased slightly 111 the north and central districts, so that the deaths registered (1741) on
the north side the Thames were 19 less than in the previous week. It was otherwise on the south side the
river, where the deaths registered in the week were 1442! The total deaths registered in London were
3183: of males, 1460; females, 1723. The deaths of females exceeded the deaths of males by 263 ; the
reverse of the usual proportions. The deaths from cholera were 2026 ; the numbers decreased in the
districts of Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Whitechapel, Stepney, Westminster; increased in Bermondsey, St.
George Southwark, Newington, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Camberwell, and Rotherhithe. The epidemic,
which had been partially subdued, broke out again with terrible violence in Lambeth, where 279 persons
died of cholera in the week.
Mr. Daws, one of the Registrars of Lambeth, who has made careful inquiries on the subject, says : “At
least half the cases I have registered were allowed to proceed unchecked, until the most alarming and
dangerous symptoms had manifested themselves ; but lately more circumspection seems to have been used.
Nevertheless, the cases are still numerous, in which persons seem (from the painless nature of the attack)
to be unconscious how highly necessary it is that immediate attention should be paid to it.” People are
so much accustomed to associate danger exclusively with pain, that the most fatal symptom unaccom-
panied by pain is neglected. They must, however, be taught to look upon paiidess diarrhoea with
the anxiety that people in the plague looked upon the swellings, called tokens — which were also pain-
less— but with less fear ; for the premonitory symptom now seems to be sent not so much to announce
death as to give timely warning, and to call attention to that stage of the malady in which medicine can
heal.
xxv iii London Weekly Reports.
As medical skill is of most avail at the beginning and end of a fever, as the effect of the engines is most
conspicuous at the outbreak anil end of a conflagration, and as most energy is demanded when the wreck
nears the shore, so it is in an epidemic ; which, if it has not been checked at first, may yet be cut short,
and combated with effect, as it declines. None of the measures of relief in any district should therefore be
discontinued, but be prosecuted with redoubled vigour, until it has been completely subdued; and the
districts which have not yet suffered greatly should immediately complete their preparations. For the time
is short ; the evils of delay irreparable.
September yth to the l^th. — A daily return of the fatal cases of cholera and
diarrhoea was now made to the Registrar-General. The particulars of all the
deaths from these causes on Monday, September ioth, were printed on Tuesday, Sep-
tember nth, and thus facilitated the house-to-house visitation, which had been set on
foot by the Board of Health, and was efficiently carried out in several districts. The
mean temperature, which in the two previous weeks had been 64°*o and 64°" i fell to
5 6C • 5 . The wind, which had been north, blew from the south-west. Electricity was as
it had been for the two previous weeks, positive and stirring ; frequent flashes of
lighining were seen during Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. The sky was
often overcast, and showers fell.
The deaths in the week fell to 2865 ; of which 1682 were by cholera, 280 by
diarrhoea. From this date the epidemic rapidly declined : the deaths from all causes in
the 8 weeks following were 1981, 1616, 1290, 1075, 1028,902, 837, and 893; the
deaths from cholera in the same weeks were 839, 434, 288, no, 41, 25, II, and 6.
The remarks in the table of this last week are: —
In the week ending Saturday, November loth, the deaths registered in the metropolitan districts were
893 ; a number which shows an excess of 56 on the return of the previous week, but a reduction of 269
on the corrected average of five autumns. If the present return be compared with that made in the same
week of each of the years 1840-8, it will be found that, with but one exception (in 1841, when the deaths
were 841), the mortality ranged formerly from 910 to 1165, and therefore was considerably higher than in
last week, though the population in those years was less. The increase of 56 now observed on the week
ending November 3, partly arises from pneumonia and bronchitis, the deaths from which become more
numerous as the winter advances, having been 104 in the previous week, 127 in the last. The total
number of deaths from cholera in the week was only 6 (5 less than in the previous week); in the same
week of 1848 there were 62. The steady decline of diarrhoea and dysentery is shown by the numbers of
the last five weeks, which were respectively 105, 63, 5 1, 40, and 29. A boy died of diarrhoea in Peter-
borough-row, Fulham, whose father had been carried oil' by cholera in September; a boy of the same
disease at Brudenell-place, New North road, from an unwholesome condition of the house; and a girl at
Maidstone-place, in the house in which a death from cholera, reported in the former week, occurred, and
in a locality then described as “ low and ill-drained.” Of the 6 deaths from cholera, one occurred at
Water-lane, Homerton ; one at Wealherhead-gardens (Hackney-road), a place low, undrained, and
drenched by waste water ; one in Christchurch, St. Saviour; one at Drummond-road, St James, Ber-
mondsey ; one in Walworth; and one in Lambeth. A death from apoplexy, on which an inquest was
held, occurred in Huntingdon-street, Hoxton The deceased was a female of 65, who for the last four
years had lived in an underground cellar, which is only 11 feet in length, 8 feet 6 inches in width, 5 feet
9 inches in height, and sunk 5 feet 7 inches below the surface of the street. A small window scarce gives
light or ventilation, and “ the walls ” (says the Registrar) “ are so damp that you might brush the water
from them.’’
The mean daily reading of the barometer was above 30 inches on the last three days of the week. The
mean of the week was 29*732. The temperature on the last three days was considerably higher than the
average of the same days in 7 years. The mean of the week was 50°' 2, which is higher than the
average by 4°* 1.
In the three last months of the year 1848, 478 persons died of cholera ; which in
the year 1849 destroyed 1 41 37 lives in London. In the year 1849 not less than 3899
deaths were referred to diarrhoea. The deaths from the two causes were 18036. One
in 161 of the inhabitants was cut oft" bv the epidemic in its severest form. Of every
10000 persons living 62 were killed by cholera, 17 by diarrhoea. *
While London was suffering, all the region round was assailed ; all the country in the
basin of the Tiiames, Suffolk, Norfolk, the south midland counties, and Sussex, were
involved in the attack. Some districts suffered severely, others escaped entirely, or,
taking the population into account, only lo^t an inconsiderable number of lives. The
scale on which the mortality is measured is IOOOO living, and the deaths in London by
cholera out of this number were, as we have seen, 72 ; in all England, 33. The

from the population enumerated March 31, 1851. The mortality of these districts is frequently alluded to.

population of 1841 is the basis of the calculations; and where the range of mortality is
so great as it is in this case, the variation in the rates of increase of population will
not materially affect the results. In the metropolitan districts of Surrey the mortality
from cholera ranged from Rotherhithe 253 (in 10000 inhabitants is understood
throughout) to Wandsworth 122 : out of London, the districts of Eps«'m, Guildford,
Farnham, Dorking, Reigate, and Godstone lost only 4 to 6 (in 10000) ; Hambleton and
Farnborough lost none; Croydon 34; Richmond 35, Kingston 13, and Chertsey 24,
the three latter districts lying on the south bank of the Thames. In Middlesex, on
the north side of the Thames, Brentford lost 50, Staines 31 ; Uxbridge 21, Hendon 9,
Barnet 20, Edmonton 24. In Hertfortshire, the districts of Hertford and Hitchin
suffered severely ; 57 in 10000 were destroyed. Hertford is on the River Lea and
near the source of the New River; Hitchin is further north, and is interspersed with
hills; 24 deaths from cholera took place in the Hitchin Union workhouse. The first
case at Hertford wras in the Union workhouse ; many of the deaths took place in the
county gaol, at Butcherley Green and at Old Cross. In the Watford district 25,
Hemel Hempstead 18 (in 10000) died of cholera. In Bishop Stortford, Royston, Hat-
field, St. Alban, and Berkhampstead the mortality was inconsiderable, ranging from 2
to 7 in 10000. The mortality was equally low in the districts of Buckinghamshire,
except Eton, where 20, and Wycombe, where 31 in xoooo died (chiefly at Great
Marlow and High Wycombe). The latter districts are on the Thames. Windsor lost
28, and, ascending the Thames, Abingdon 18, Headington 22, Oxford 22, Witney 14.
At Wokingham, Bradfield, Wallingford, Woodstock, Faringdon, and Cirencester in
Gloucestershire, near the source of the Thames, the mortality was inconsiderable, not
exceeding 2 in 10000. The counties of Northampton and Huntingdon escaped with
few deaths ; at Northampton 17, Hardingstone 28, Peterborough 19 in 10000 died.
Hardingstone adjoins Northampton; the first case occurred in a -boatman; 20 of 24
deaths fronf cholera in this district took place at Piddington. In Bedford 12, in
Biggleswade 14 in 10000 died ; the rest of Bedfordshire lost less than 2 in 10000. In
Essex, descending on the north side of the Thames, West Ham lost 50, Romford 67,
Orsett 28, Rochford 66, Maldon, round the Blackwater River on the east coast, 15,
Tendring 27 in 10000. Tendring includes Harwich, where nearly all the cases occurred,
chiefly in the families of mariners, fishermen, and dredgermen. The population of
Harwich was 3829 in 1841, of whom 69 died of cholera; 25 in the week ending Sep-
tember 8. The rest of the county of Essex — except Epping, where 13 in 10000 died —
suffered inconsiderably. The same may be said of the whole of the counties of Suffolk
and Norfolk. Some districts of Suffolk had no deaths; others had 1 or 2 in 10000;
Ipswich lost only 7 in 10000 by cholera, but suffered severely from diarrhoea; Wang-
ford 7, Muttord 16 in 10000. The deaths in the latter district were chiefly at Lowes-
toft, which is included in the port of Yarmouth. In Yarmouth itself 36, Norwich 6,
Mitford7in 10000 died. Two parishes in Docking have already been referred to, p. xxi.
Buxton, a parish in the Aylesham district, suffered from a similar circumscribed attack.
Norwich and Kings Lynn and Yarmouth suffered a good deal from diarrhoea. In five
districts of Norfolk no deaths were referred to cholera, in all the rest except those
already named the mortality was inconsiderable. In Cambridgeshire, North Witchford
lost 58, Whittlesey 17, Wisbeach 44 in 10000: like Peterborough they are marshy and
unhealthy districts, lying about the embouchure of the Ouse and the Nene. The rest
of the districts of Cambridgeshire suffered little. Gamhngay in Caxton was the seat
of one of the circumscribed attacks, fatal to 12 persons. In Kent, the districts on the
south bank of the Thames, and the coast down to the North Foreland, suffered from the
epidemic; the deaths in 10000 were, in Dartford 46, North Aylesford (containing North-
fleet) 50, Hoo 25, Medway (including Rochester and Chatham) 34, Milton 59, Sheppey
(including Sheerness) 50, Faversham 10, Blean 17, Thanet (including Margate and
Ramsgate) 65. Of the districts on the coast from the Isle of Thanet to Dungeness, Dover
alone was attacked with any severity. The attacks were often circumscribed : thus of 1 17
deaths in Dartford, 35 occurred in the parish of Crayford, 17 deaths in the Union work-
house Dartford, and 20 at Waterside. At Dartford a labourer, his wife, and four children
were cut off by the pestilence. At Gravesend 1 96 deaths from cholera were registered ;
26 of persons who died on board vessels lying off Gravesend, 34 in the workhouse, 9 in

Portsmouth and Plymouth Fields.
Passengers’-court, and 8 in Kempthorne-street. “The whole of the surface and under-
ground drainage falls into rudely-constructed cesspools.” Of 73 deaths from cholera
in North Aylesford 32 were at Northfleet. All the districts in the interior of Kent
escaped with few or no deaths. But in Loose, a sub-district of Maidstone, 43 deaths
occurred in the parish of East Farleigh, chiefly among the Irish hop-pickers. The
remaining deaths in Maidstone amounted to 55. The decrease of the mortality on the
high grounds of the county is shown by the districts traversed by the River Medway;
ascending that river, in Sheppey the mortality in 10000 was 50, Milton 59, Medway 34,
Mailing 11, Maidstone (including the hop-pickers at Loose) 30, Tunbridge 8, Seven-
oaks 2.
In Sussex only three districts lost more than 10 in 10000 of the inhabitants;
namely, Hastings, where 34, Brighton, where 41, and Steyning, where 17 died of
cholera to every 10000 inhabitants enumerated at the previous census. In Cuckfield
there was a circumscribed attack.
83; 3 Cuckfield; Hurstperpoint. Pop. 5711. Clio. 14. Diarr. 5. — The whole of the deaths from
cholera took place at Pyecombe (one of 7 parishes forming the sub-district), where the epidemic broke
out with great malignancy in June. Its first victims were three children of labourers, on the 20th, and
a fourth on the 22nd. Four cases terminated fatally on August 1st, and 2 on the following day; a
shepherd died on the 6th, and his widow on the 10th. The recorded duration of attack was in some
instances remarkably short — 4, 5, and 6 hours — 7 hours being the average.
On this wide field, extending over the counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Kent, Sussex,
Berks, Hertford, Buckingham, Oxford, Northampton, Huntingdon, Bedford, Cam-
bridge, Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, the epidemic committed great ravages: and
18502 lives were destroyed by cholera alone. But its successes were only partial ; of
241 5 1 59 persons and more living, 16285 lost their lives in 36 London and 18 country
districts, having an area of 1144 square miles; while only 2217 persons died in a
population of 2843183 on 13370 square miles. The poison, or whatever it was,
pervaded the whole field ; for in almost every district it caused one or more deaths,
either in the aggravated form or in the masked shape of diarrhoea.
PORTSMOUTH CHOLERA FIELD.
Portsmouth, Southampton, and Salisbury, formed the basis of a less extensive
attack ; but to 10000 living enumerated in 1841,* Portsea Island lost 107, Alverstoke
(Gosport) 93, Southampton 88, the adjoining district of South Stoneham 27, Romsey 14,
the Isle of Wight 36 (where nearly all of the deaths occurred in the low ports on the
north slope of the island, in Cowes, Newport, and Ryde), Winchester 18, Salisbury 174,
the two adjoining districts of Alderbury 19, Wilton 12, Devizes 30. In all the other
districts of Hampshire and Wiltshire the mortality was inconsiderable, although nearly
all were visited in one form or other: 1251 deaths occurred in Portsea Island, Alver-
stoke, Southampton, the Isle of Wight, and Salisbury, to 1457 n living in 1841, on an
area of 163 square miles; while on the rest of the two counties only 309 died of cholera
to a population enumerated in 1841 at 449109 on an area of 2584 square miles: so
circumscribed was the fatal working of the malady.
PLYMOUTH CHOLERA FIELD.
Plymouth is the centre of a cholera field which extends along the southern coast
of England from Purbeck Bay, in Dorsetshire, to the Laud’s End. No deaths from
cholera were registered in Shaftesbury, Sturminster, Blandford, Wimborne, or Bea-
minster districts, in the interior of Dorsetshire; owe death was registered in Sher-
borne, and owe in Warcham, on the coast. In Dorchester, separated from the sea by
the Black Down, 16 deaths occurred, 10 at Fordington, 2 at Holloway-row, 1 at
Bohmston Stinsford, 2 at Piddlctown, 1 at Stafford; 11 deaths were recorded at
Bridport on the coast; and at the ports of Poole and Weymouth the mortality was
26 and 32 in IOOOO. Proceeding along the sea-side districts of Devon, certain small
detached places on the coast were visited severely : thus at Torquay there were 72
deaths, Brixham 75 deaths; 11 at South Brent, 13 at Modbury; in Exeter the
deaths were 44, the mortality 14 in 10000. At Plymouth, East Sonehouse, Stoke

Damerel, and the surrounding districts of Plympton St. Mary, Tavistock, St. Germans,
and Liskeard, round the harbour — the Tamar and the Tavy — 2381 cases of cholera
were fatal.* The mortality in the 4 districts lying against the sea was excessive, and
approached 2 per cent, of the population. Whole families were swept away. Many
emigrant ships sail from Plymouth, and others touch there. The epidemic was diffused
among the unhappy emigrants, and many perished. The “ American Eagle,” on board
of which 6 deaths from cholera occurred, attracted attention at an early period, and
was visited by officers of the Board of Health. The healthy districts of North Devon
had few or no deaths. Barnstaple and Bfracombe were exceptions ; these two ports had
several deaths, which made the mortality from cholera in the Barnstaple district 14 in
xoooo. This belongs properly to the Bristol Channel field. The action of the epi-
demic was prolonged down the south coast of Cornwall, and fell with intense violence
on certain spots. At Mevagissey, in St. Austell, 126 deaths from cholera were recorded
out of a population in 1841 of 2310. The mortality of St. Austell was 43, Truro 19,
Falmouth 34, Redruth 28, the Scilly Islands 15 in 10000. The districts of Stratton,
Camelford, Launceston, Bodmin, St. Columb, Helston, and Penzance escaped: the
mortality in these large and populous districts was quite inconsiderable.
BRISTOL CHOLERA FIELD.
The country on both sides of the Bristol Channel was attacked by the epidemic.
Bristol was one of the centres of attack; Merthyr Tydfil, in Glamorganshire, the
other. Bristol is surrounded on the north side by the Clifton district, which
extends to the Channel ; and is separated to the south from Bedminster, in Somer-
setshire, by the river Avon. The mortality in the Bristol district was 90, the Clifton
district 75, the Bedminster district 74 in iocoo. Ascending the Severn, the mor-
tality in the Thornbury district was 5, in Dursley 35, Wheatenhurst 21, Gloucester
44, Tewkesbury 39. Here it may be convenient to trace the epidemic up the Severn,
out of the bounds of the Bristol field, through Worcestershire, Shropshire, and
Montgomeryshire. The mortality in Upton-on-Severn was 8, Worcester 16, Martley
'8, Droitwich 13, Kidderminster 4, Bridgenorth 47, Madeley 23, Shrewsbury 54,
Atcham 8, Montgomery 18, Newtown, extending up to the sources of the Severn, 3.
Nearly all the deaths in the Dursley district occurred at Wotton-under-Edge and Kings-
wood, among labourers, weavers, and their families. Of the 13 deaths from cholera in
Upton-on-Severn, 8 were in the Union workhome. The Bridgnorth district consists
of three sub-districts : in the Bridgnorth sub-district, with 6199 inhabitants, 70 deaths
occurred, in Worfield 5, in Chetton none. Of 15 deaths in the Atcham district, 13
occurred in the Union House at the Cross Houses; 34 of the 37 deaths in the Mont-
gomery district were in Pool. None of the other districts of Gloucestershire, Worces-
tershire, Shropshire, or Montgomeryshire, were assailed with any sensible effect
by tne epidemic, if we except Stourbridge, which is involved — as well perhaps as
Madeley, Bridgenorth, and Shrewsbury — in the Wolverhampton field. No deaths were
returned in the districts of Tetbury, Northleach, Stow-on-the-Wold, Wmchcomb, in
Gloucestershire; in any district of Herefordshire, except Leominster, where 1 death
from cholera was recorded ; in Ludlow or Clun, in Shropshire ; in Evesham, Tenbury, or
Pershore, in Worcestershire. All these districts escaped. The deaths from diarrhoea in
Hereford were 21 ; in the other districts few or none. I11 Northleach, having 10661
inhabitants, in 1841, no death either from diarrhoea or cholera was registered.
In Somersetshire, proceeding from Bedminster, the mortality was 35 in 10000 in
Keynsham, 13 in Bath, 39 in Clutton, 13 in Wells, 23 in Shepton Mallet, 74 in
Bridgewater on the Parrot, and 18 in Taunton on the Tone, which flows into the
Parrot. In Langport, higher up the Parrot, no death from cholera was registered ; and
generally the interior districts, as well as Williton and Wellington on the Channel coast,
leading to the healthy districts of Exmoor Forest, were left unscathed.
Crossing the Bristol Channel, we arrive in Glamorganshire on —

Merthyr Tydfil.
\ THE MERTHYR TYDFIL CHOLERA FIELD. '
In the Cardiff district, embracing the feet of the great coal and iron district, the
mortality was 90 in 10000; Merthyr Tydfil, further in the interior, 234; in Bridgend,
lower down the Channel, the mortality was 41, Neath 169, Swansea 68. Round Car-
marthen Bay, in Carmarthenshire, the mortality in Llanelly was 22, in Carmarthen
38 in 10000; in the interior, Llandilofawr 23, and Llandovery 10 in 10000. Ascend-
ing the Usk, Newport lost 75, Pontypool 28, Abergavenny 86, Crickhowel 54, Breck-
nock, round the sources of the Taf and (he Usk, 4 in 10000 inhabitants. The
districts on the lower section of the Wye, which enters the Severn above the Channel,
suffered little more than Herefordshire and Radnorshire; the deaths in the Chepstow
district were 1, Monmouth 9 in 10000. A few deaths from cholera were registered in
Pembrokeshire. No deaths from cholera, few from diarrhoea, were registered in
Cardigan, Newcastle-on-Emlvn, Aberayron, Aberystwith or Tregaron, in Cardigan-
shire; Presteigne or Rhayader, in Radnorshire; Machynlleth, in Montgomeryshire;
Llanrwst, in Denbighshire ; Bala or Dolgelly in Merionethshire ; Conway, in Car-
narvonshire. Except the districts named, Holywell and Flint, on the Dee, Amlwch
and Holyhead, in Anglesea, were the only districts in Wales where cholera produced
any number of deaths.
In Cardiff 2 male infants died of cholera on January 3rd and February nth, after
attacks lasting 12 days and 3 days respectively : epidemic cholera did not appear until
May 13th, when it was fatal to a navigator, aged 19, at 39 Bridge-street, after an attack
of 24 hours’ duration, preceded by diarrhoea for 3 days. Towards the end of May a
considerable increase of mortality took place, and the epidemic was at its height on June
7, when 14 persons died, and during the month it was fatal to 135 persons. The
Registrar of the Cardiff sub-district, in his return for the quarter ending June, 1849,
in alluding to the increase of the number of deaths, says: — “This mortality may in
some degree be ascribed to inadequate drainage, partly to the letting out of a canal
which passes through the town, thereby exposing the mud and matter at the bottom to
the action of the sun, but still more to the very crowded state of the streets and houses
in the poorer localities, to which the disease (cholera) has thus far chiefly confined
itself.” In July the number of deaths fell to 69, but rose again to 91 during August ;
in September 55 persons died; in October 3 ; and the epidemic finally disappeared
alter being fatal to a labourer’s widow, aged 83, at Great Frederick-street, on Novem-
ber 19, and to a carpenter’s son, aged 5 months, at Homfray-street, on December 7th.
During the year 1849 cholera destroyed 396 lives (206 males; 190 females), being at
the rate of 90 deaths to every 10000 persons living. Diarrhoea was latal to 75 persons
(43 males; 32 females), being at the rate of 17 to every 10000 persons living.
Merthyr Tydfil, with the exception of Hull, suffered more severely from cholera than
any district in the kingdom. Its first appearance was on May 21st, when a labourer’s
son, aged 4, died after an attack of 14 hours’ duration, at Heolygillor, and by the end
of the month it was fatal to 16 persons. In June a rapid spread of the epidemic look-
place; on June 7th and 9th the daily deaths amounted to 22, and 349 persons died
during the month. In July the number of fatal attacks was 539, and as many as 32
persons died on July 26. In August the epidemic w-as at its height ; the daily mor-
tality reached 36 on August 2nd; as many as 30 died on August 15th; during
the month it was fatal to 548 persons. In September the deaths fell to 190, and
further declined to 37 in October. In November 3 persons died; the last fatal case
being that of a miner’s widow, aged 73, at Fynnon Tydfil, on November 21st. The fol-
lowing places suffered severely from cholera : — Pont-y-Pridd, Llanwonno ; Pedwranfach ;
Caedraw ; George Town; Market-field; Pont-y-Storehouse ; Penydarran ; Cae Pant
Twvll ; Quarry-row; Cefn Coed, C\ mmer ; Fynnon Tydfil; New Souih Wales, Dow-
lais ; High street and Well-street, Dowiais ; Hirwain, Peuderyn. Cholera was fatal
to 1682 persons (884 males; 798 females), being at the rate of 234 deaths to every
10000 persons living ; diarrhoea was not fatal to more than 97 persons (53 males; 44
females), being at the rate of 14 deaths to every 10000 persons living.
In Neath 2 persons died of cholera in February 1849; but it was not until May
Wolverhampton Cholera Field. xxxiii
2 1 st that the epidemic began to be fatal, when it appeared among the labouring
population at Aberdylais, Blaen Louddan. Throughout June the epidemic prevailed,
and 80 persons died during the month. After the first week of July a rapid in-
crease of mortality occurred; on July 17th as many as 18 persons died, and on
several days it was fatal to 16 persons daily ; during the month 296 deaths took
place. The mortality continued high during the first three weeks of August, and
the deaths in the month amounted to 260 ; the deaths declined to 84 in September, and
to 10 in October. The last fatal attack took place on November 10th, when a labourer,
aged 47, died after an illness of 13 hours, at Lonlase, Llansamlet Higher.
During the year 1849 cholera was fatal in Neath to 738 persons (353 males; 385
females), being at the rate of 169 deaths to every 10000 persons living. Diarrhoea
destroyed 61 lives (28 males; 33 females), being at the rate of 14 deaths to every
10000 persons living.
A table is given in another part of the Report showing the progress of the epidemic
during each day of its prevalence in the districts of Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, and
Neath.
THE WOLVERHAMPTON CHOLERA FIELD.
At the southern extremity of Staffordshire, on a space 12 miles square, 3275 persons
died of cholera and of diarrhoea. The mortality from cholera was in the district of
Wolverhampton 137, Walsall 54, West Bromwich 48, Dudley 48, Stourbridge ex-
tending into Worcestershire, 65 in 10000. It is the Midland coal-field. The Potteries
to the north, comprising Wolstanton, Stoke-upon-Trent, and Newcastle-under-Lyme,
where the mortality was considerable, and Nantwich in Cheshire, Shrewsbury, and
Bridgenorth to the west, Coventry to the east, may be considered out-lying districts,
connected more or less with this field, which is in direct communication with Liverpool
and Manchester. The field is near the centre of England; and it is worthy of
remark, that the outbreak of the great epidemic may be set down so late as July
for Wolverhampton, August for the other central districts. The districts immediately
surrounding those infected escaped unscathed : thus the mortality in 10000 was only
5 in Penkridge, 2 in Lichfield, 2 in Tamworth, 2 in Burton-on-Trent, 1 in Cheadle,
1 in Leek, 4 in Stone, 1 in Stafford. In Uttoxeter, with 14932 inhabitants, no
death from cholera, and only 1 from diarrhoea occurred. Warwickshire, with the ex-
ception of Coventry and Foleshill in its vicinity, suffered as little as the exempted
districts of Staffordshire ; the mortality from diarrhoea in Birmingham and Aston
was however considerable. In Atherstone and Solihull there was no death from
cholera; in Meriden 1, Nuneaton 2, Rugby 1, Stratford-on-Avon 2, Alcester 1, Shipton-
on-Stour 1, Southam 1. Rutlandshire and Leicestershire enjoyed an extraordinary
immunity : in Melton Mowbray there was no death from cholera, only 8 from diarrhoea;
in Leicester 2 from cholera, 75 from diarrhoea. Six of the districts of Lincolnshire
scarcely suffered at all; the deaths ranged only from 1 to 3 in 10000. Gainsborough,
on the Trent, flowing into the Humber, was visited heavily; the deaths from cholera
were 246, diarrhoea 63 ; the mortality from cholera was 91 in 10000. Caistor lies south
of the Humber over against Hull, and the mortality was 1 1 ; in Glandford Brigg 9 in
10000. In Lincoln the mortality was only 2 from cholera, 12 from diarrhoea in 10000.
Nottinghamshire escaped with few deaths; the mortality from cholera was in East
Retford 10, Newark 10, Bingham 9, Basford 7, Radford 3, Nottingham 3 in 10000. In
Nottingham the mortality was 18, in Radford 17 in 10000 from diarrhoea. In the
district of Southwell, including part of Sherwood Forest, no death Irom cholera occurred
among the 25014 inhabitants. Derbyshire suffered still less than Nottinghamshire ;
the mortality in the district of Derby was 5 in 10000 from cholera, 11 from diarrhoea.
In the rest of the county the mortality was inconsiderable.
THE LIVERPOOL CHOLERA FIELD.]
The epidemic fixed itself firmly in Liverpool as early as March, and around this
centre infested several of the districts of Cheshire and Lancashire; the mortality
diminishing in the distance. Thus the mortality in iooco was 167 in Liverpool,
82 in West Derby, 40 in Prescot, 22 in Ormskirk, "5 in Wigan, 19 in Warrington,
d
xxxiv Liverpool Cholera Field.
4 only in Leigh, 13 in Bolton, 7 in Bury, 7 in Worsley. Here the epidemic assumes a
somewhat more severe form ; the mortality was at the rate of 40 in 10000 in Manchester,
28 in Salford, 30 in Chorlton. The mortality was 27 in 10000 in Lancaster : in the
remaining districts the mortality was inconsiderable. Crossing the Mersey, the mor-
tality in iocoo was 44 in Wirral, including Birkenhead ; 19 in Great Boughton,
including Chester, on the Dee; 36 in Runcorn, on the south bank of the Mersey ; 1 6
in Northwich, on the Weaver, flowing into the Mersey. In Stockport only 8, Maccles-
field 6, Congleton in 10000 died of cholera.
It will be right to give here a more particular account of the ravages of the epidemic
in the populations of Liverpool and Manchester.
Liverpool suffered two visitations of epidemic cholera ; the first was comparatively
slight, prevailing from the end of July to the close of 1848, and was fatal during
that year to 33 persons, of whom 12 were males and 21 females, mostly children
of labourers and artisans. In 1849 no fatal attack is recorded until January 9, when
a widow, aged 76, died at No. 1 Court, Upper Pownall-street, of cholera and consecutive
fever, 7 days’ duration. On January 15th, a sawyer’s wife, aged 44, died at 32,
Eldon-street ; the death of her husband followed, on January 21st, after an attack
of 19 hours’ duration. The next two cases occurred at 14, Hornby-street, on January
29th and 30th, of a sawyer’s wife, agpd 42, and an unmarried female aued 21.
Diarrhoea was fatal to 29 persons during January. In February 7 deaths took place
from cholera, occurring at intervals of a few days. Diarrhoea, which became more
prevalent towards the latter part of the month, destroyed 36 lives. In March the
deaths from cholera increased to 18, chiefly occurring in the courts of Arley, Oriel,
and Chisenhall-streets, and also in the workhouse in the Mount Pleasant sub-district.
The first death in the cholera hospital, Queen Anne-street, was on March 1st, when a
labourer’s wife, aged 30, died, after an attack lasting four days ; and another labourer’s
wife, aged 30, died in a van near the cholera hospital on March 25th. Diarrhoea
remained nearly stationary during this and the two following months. In Apiil there
were 19 deaths from cholera, 5 of them occurring in the cholera hospital, Queen
Anne-street, and 3 in the workhouse. In May the mortality from cholera increased to
96, and the epidemic had now completely established itself, increasing daily in each of
the sub-districts. In June 424 fatal attacks are recorded, and the daily number varied
from 5 on June 6th, to 25 on June 29th. In July 1085 were added to the deaths pre-
viously recorded. On one day, July 18th, the number of fatal cases was 59, the
average during the month being 35 daily. In August the epidemic greatly increased,
and the daily mortality reached 84 on August 13th, this being its maximum. Its
decline now became perceptible, although it was not regularly progressive. Thus the
deaths declined to 31 on August 30th, and afterwards increased for a few days, until,
on September 5, no fewer than 66 deaths took place. From this point its decline
became more steady, the deaths, which amounted to 1575 in August, were reduced
to 874 in September, and further declined to 62 in October, 58 of which took place
prior to October 12, when the epidemic, which had been so fearfully prevalent among
the labouring, maritime, and trading classes, might be regarded as at an end, 2 deaths
only taking place in November and 6 in December. Cholera hospitals were established
in Vauxhall-road, in the Dale-street sub-district, in Ansdell-street, in the St. Thomas sub-
district, and in Queen Anne-street in Islington sub-district. Many deaths took place in
these hospitals, and also in the workhouse in the Mount Pleasant sub-district. A book-
binder, his wife, and son died at 3 Dukinfield-street, on August 15th, a female relative,
aged 2, having previously died in the same house on August 13th. Many instances
occurred of more than one member of the same family dying. During the year 1649
cholera was fatal to 4173 persons (1895 males, 2278 females), being at the rate of 167
deaths to every 10000 persons estimated as living in 1849. The deaths from diarrhoea
amounted 10 981 (459 males, 522 females), or 39 deaths to every IOOOO persons living.*

of the epidemic.
Manchester.
xxxv
In West Derby (surrounding Liverpool) no case of epidemic cholera appeared prior to
March 29th, when an anchorsmith’s son, aged 5, died at 3, Abstinence-street, after an
attack of 21 hours’ duration. The next 2 cases followed on April 7th, at Henderson-
street, where a mariner’s wife aged 24, and a spinster aged 26, died after attacks lasting
17 hours and 15 hours; both are said to have been in a state of collapse when first
seen by the medical attendant, as was a cordwainer’s wife aged 30, who next died, on
Aprilnth,at 14 cellar, Henderson-street, after an attack of 28 hours’ duration. Eightother
deaths occurred at intervals up to the end of May. Early in June the epidemic began
to spread, and the daily deaths amounted to 1 1 on June 21st, and the mortality during
the month was 92. No considerable increase in the number of deaths took place until
the middle of July, when they became more frequent, and amounted to 245 during the
month; they increased to 409 during August. In the early part of September cholera
continued to increase, and attained its maximum severity on September 5th, when it
was fatal to 27 persons. It declined slowly during the following 10 days, anil after-
wards more rapidly, until, on October 9th, only 1 death occurred ; another followed on
October 2 2nd, and on October 29th the last fatal base of cholera is recorded in the
death of a mariner, aged 49, in the cholera hospital. In another part of the Report a
table will be found showing the deaths in Liverpool and West Derby combined, on
each day of the four months during which the epidemic was most prevalent.
During the year 1849, 1135 persons (488 males, 647 females) died from cholera,
which was at the rate of 82 deaths to every 10000 of the population. Diarrhoea was
fatal to 279 persons (141 males, 138 females), being 20 to every 10000 persons living.
In the sub-district of Toxteth Park, which comprises less than half the population of
the whole district, 91 2 deaths (383 males, 529 females) from cholera and diarrhoea
were registered. The cholera hospital was in this sub-district.
Manchester , Chorlton, and Salford form a group of districts lving contiguous ; and
a table is given elsewhere, showing the deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in the three
districts combined, on each day of the four months during which the epidemic was
most fatal : it will be seen that the mortality was very high throughout September,
and the first few days of October : on several occasions the deaths exceeded 40 daily;
and on September 14th, 45 fatal cases occurred.
It is worthy of note that in the whole of England the deaths from cholera were
nearly three times as numerous as those from diarrhoea; while in this group of
districts the mortality from these diseases was nearly equal, viz., from cholera 1395 ;
diarrhoea, 1331; and while cholera destroyed 594 males, and 801 females, diarrhoea
was fatal to 701 males, and 630 females.
In Manchester* no fatal case of epidemic cholera occurred until June nth, 1849,
when a packer, aged 20, died of an attack of diarrhoea 20 hours, and cholera 21
hours, at Bird-in-hand, Redfern-street ; the next four cases took place on June 25th,
26th, 28th, 29th ; of which three were at the workhouse, Canal-street, and one at
No. 7, Nield-street ; the attacks being of short duration. Not more than 6 deaths
happened during the first three weeks of July ; after this an increase was observed,
and the deaths during the month amounted to 23; diarrhoea became very pre-
valent, and was fatal to 149 persons. No further increase in the mortality occurred
in the early part, of August; towards the end of the month, however, the epidemic
began to spread. The deaths amounted to 93 during August, and diarrhoea was also
very fatal, causing 208 deaths. The deaths from cholera were further augmented by
622 during September, when they averaged 20 daily, and on September 11 amounted
to 34. The mortality continued very high until after October 4th, and no fewer than
27 fatal cases happened on October 2nd; after this its decline became more marked,
and the deaths throughout October did not exceed 147 : to this number only seven
were added during November, the last being on November 23rd, when a cordwainer’s
daughter, aged 7, died at 3 Back Hatters’-lane, after an attack of 16 hours’ duration :
no other fatal case is recorded afterwards during the year.

Hull Cholera Field.
Cholera destroyed 878 lives (374 males ; 504 females) in 1849, being at the rate of
about 40 deaths to every 10000 persons living. Diarrhoea was fatal to 765 persons
(404 males; 361 females), or 35 deaths to every 10000 persons living. Cholera did
not visit Manchester until full three months after it had prevailed in Liverpool; it
was also much less fatal. For while in Liverpool there was one death to every 60
persons living ; in Manchester there were 252 persons living to every fatal case of cholera.
In Salford, as in Manchester and Chorlton, the cholera epidemic did not appear until
June, 1849. At 5 Paradise-row, on June 24, a colour-mixer, aged 57, died of
cholera live days’ duration, and typhus gravior two days; on June 27, a porter’s
daughter, aged 5, died at Cleminson-street, of cholera after an attack of 12 hours’
duration. In July seven fatal attacks occurred at intervals, and the deaths from
diarrhoea, which were 6 in June, increased to 2 6 in July. After August 1 2 th , both
cholera and diarrhoea became more prevalent, and the deaths during the month were
respectively 50 and 91. Throughout September cholera continued at its height: the
number of deaths on September 1st was 6; on September 13th they increased to
9, which was the highest number in any one day ; on the last three days of the
month the deaths were 7, 6, and 8 respectively : the mortality during the month
was, cholera 148 deaths ; diarrhoea 62. After the first week in October the epi-
demic subsided more rapidly, and the last death took place on October 19th, at Back
Oak-street, when a shoemaker’s wife, aged 33, died of cholera of 3 days’ duration,
effusion on brain 1 day. The deaths during October were of cholera 30 ; diarrhoea
31. In November diarrhoea was fatal to 9 persons, and in December to 6. The fatal
attacks of cholera in most cases were of short duration, and in a great number of
instances ranged from 6 to 12 hours. During 1849 cholera destroyed 237 lives (98
males; 1 39 females) ; and diarrhoea was fatal to 261 persons (141 males; 120 females).
In Chorlton, cholera was very prevalent in July, 1848, among young children in the
ITulme sub-district, though it was apparently only the ordinary summer cholera ; but
on December 1st, a female servant, aged 24, died at 2 Knibbs-place, Victoria Park,
of cholera, attended with purging, vomiting, cramps, and collapse, 24 hours’ duration.
In 1849 no fatal case of cholera is recorded until June 1st, when a female, aged 27,
died at 57 Park-street, of cholera and apoplexy, 36 hours’ duration ; on June 4, a
female factory-hand, aged 28, died at Timothy-street, Eccles, after an attack lasting
12 hours. 2 other deaths occurred during June; and towards th elatter part of July
the epidemic began to spread, and was fatal to 1 5 persons during the month ; diar-
rhoea was still more prevalent, and caused 57 deaths in July. In August cholera
caused 67 deaths, and diarrhoea 70. During September the epidemic was at its
height: the greatest number of persons dying of cholera in one day was 13 on Sep-
tember 1 8th, and during the month it was fatal to 163 persons. After the first week
in October a perceptible decrease took place, and no death occurred after October 25th,
excepting that of a weaver, aged 65, at the Union workhouse, Hulme, on December
25th, of debility consequent on cholera. Many instances are recorded of more than
one death happening in the same family ; and at No. 3, Islington-place, 4 .adult persons
died. At the Union workhouse numerous deaths, both from cholera and diarrhoea,
took place. The deaths from diarrhoea exceeded those from cholera, viz., cholera 280
(122 males; 158 females); diarrhoea 305 (156 males; 149 females).
THE HULL CHOLERA FIELD.
In Yorkshire cholera destroyed 6346 lives, and 1955 deaths were ascribed to diarrhoea.
This great county extends over the basin of the Ouse, which constitutes, by its junction
with the Trent, the Humber, on the north side of which lies the port of Hull, the gate
of the commerce of Leeds and the woollen districts. The mortality in the district of
Hull was 241 ; Sculcoates, round Hull, 152 ; Beverley, north of Sculcoates, 1 1 in 10000.
In the four coast districts, Patrington, Skirlaugh, Driffield, and Bridlington comprising
Holdcrness, and lying higher than Hull, the mortality was only 5,4, 1, and 6 in 10000.
Up the Ouse, Howden lost 41, Selby 73, York 36; Pocklington, west of York, 24 in
1 0000. Hull is intimately connected with the district of Leeds by the railway passing
through Selby, by the roads and the River Ouse. The mortality in the district of Leeds
Hull and Sculcoates.
xxxv u
was 145, and only inferior to that of Hull and Sculcoates. In Hunslet, adjoining
Leeds, the mortality was also great, 102. Dewsbury, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Eccles-
field, south of Leeds, suffered less. In Goole the mortality was 59, Thorne 46,
Doncaster 24, Rotherham 10, Sheffield 13, Ecclesall-Bierlow n, Wortley 2 in 10000.
These districts are south of the Ouse, and are chiefly on the Don. The districts on the
Nidd, the Ure, the Swale, and the Derwent, the other tributaries of the Ouse and
Humber, exhibit few or no deaths. The mortality in Huddersfield was 5,* Todmorden 4,
Saddleworth and Pateley Bridge 3, Halifax, Keighley, Otley, Ripon, Skipton, 2 in 10000.
Cholera produced no deaths in Sedbergh or Settle on the high grounds. In the North
Riding the mortality was, 6 in Thirsk, 5 in Whitby, 4 in Scarborough, 3, 2, or 1 in
eight districts; none in Helmsley, Leyburn or Reeth. In October, as the great epidemic
was declining, a sudden outbreak occurred in the district of Knaresborough, where the
mortality was 19 in 10000.
The ravages of the epidemic in Hull, Sculcoates, Leeds, and Hunslet must be more
particularly described.
Hull , in proportion to its population, suffered more from cholera than any district
in the kingdom. The epidemic appeared here in the autumn of 1848, and was
fatal to 4 persons in September, to 13 in October, and to one in each of the follow-
ing two months. A fatal case was recorded in a mariner, aged 36, at Anne-street,
Myton, on March 9th, 1849, after an attack of 4 days’ duration. A month inter-
vened before any other case took place. On April 9th a labourer’s widow, aged 62,
died at 2, Joseph’s-place, Anne-street, after an attack lasting 2 days. Four weeks
elapsed before any other death occurred, when a fisherman’s son, aged 6, was attacked
on May 7th, at 19 Mill-street, and died after an illness of 12 hours. In June 2 deaths
took place. In July cholera broke out in Little Passage-street, and was fatal to 3
females on July 7th, 8th, 9th, after attacks of short duration. In the course of the
month 36 fatal attacks are recorded. No material spread of the epidemic was observed
until August 1 3, from which date it began to increase, and the mortality during the
month amounted to 254. In the first two weeks of September cholera was at its height,
destroying 69 lives on September 6th ; it was fatal during the month to 843 persons.
After the first week in October but few deaths occurred, and only 40 fatal cases happened
throughout the month, the last being on October 30th, when a farmer’s wife, aged 70,
died at 22, Sewer-lane. In many instances two or more deaths took place in the same
family ; and during the latest prevalence of the epidemic it was fatal to a lath-render’s
wife, daughter and son, on October 6th, at Spring-street, Myton, after attacks of 24
hours, 12 hours, and 5 hours respectively.
Among the places severely visited by cholera were Middle-street, Mill-street, Ade-
laide-street, Vagrant Office Humber-bank, English-street, High-street, Myton-gate,
Humber-street, the neighbourhoods of Blackfriar-gate and Whitefriar-gate, Cleveland-
street Groves, Chaffers-allev. Cholera was fatal, in 1849, to 1178 persons (571 males ;
607 females), being at ihe rate of 24 r deaths to every 10000 persons living. Diarrhoea
destroyed 194 lives (91 males ; 103 females), being 40 deaths to every 10000 inhabitants.
In Sculcoates , adjoiningHull, a female servant, aged 39, is stated to have died of cholera,
on February 1st, 1849, at Popple-street, Drypool, after an attack lasting 12 days. On
April 19th, a sailmaker, of intemperate habits, died of cholera and diarrhoea at Bethel-
place, Caroline-street, Hull. No other death is recorded until July 23rd and 24th,
when, in addition to a mariner, aged 33, at Kingston-place, it was fatal to a factory
overlooker, aged 41, his wife, aged 39, and his daughter, aged 13, at 6 Cottonmill-
street : by the end of the month 9 deaths occurred. In August 1 5 1 fatal cases took
place, and the epidemic was at its height on September 6th (same day as in Hull),
when it destroyed 28 lives. During the following week the mortality continued high :
on two occasions the deaths amounted to 27 daily. Its decline became more percepti-
ble towards the end of the month, in the course of which 464 fatal cases took place. In
the first five days of October the deaths were uniformly 4 daily. The last death

occurred on October 19, at New Village, (Nottingham, in a carpenter, aged 28, after an
attack of 18 hours’ duration.
A table is given in another part of this Report, in which the progress of cholera and
diarrhoea, in Hull and Sculcoates combined, is shown on each day of the four months
during which the epidemic prevailed. In Sculcoates 656 persons (297 males; 359
females) died of cholera, being at the rate of 152 deaths to every 10000 of the popu-
lation. Diarrhoea was fatal to 144 persons (74 males ; 70 females), being 33 deaths to
every 10000 persons living.
In Leeds , and also in the adjoining district of Hunslet, epidemic cholera first
appeared about the middle of June, was at its height during the first two weeks in
September, and finally disappeared in the last week of November. From the contiguity
of the two districts, and from the simultaneous appearance and departure of the
epidemic, they may he spoken of in conjunction ; and a table is given elsewhere exhibiting
the progress of cholera and diarrhoea each day during the months when it was most fatal.
The first two fatal cases of cholera took place in Leeds on June 14th, in a cap-manu-
facturer, aged 39, at 16 Market-street, after an attack of 12 hours’ duration ; and in
a stuff- weaver’s son, aged 9, at 32 Brass-street, cholera 6 days, and typhus 3 days. His
brother, aged 7, next died, on June 15, of cholera 5 days, typhus 2 days. Two other
deaths in Leeds and 3 in Hunslet took place during the month. In July only 4 deaths
occurred at intervals up to the 17th ; the mortality then began to increase, and the
fatal cases amounted to 23 during the month. On August 10th a stdl further spread of
the epidemic commenced. On August 30th as many as 32 deaths happened, and in
the course of the month it wras fatal to 426 persons.
The mortality was at its height during the first two weeks of September, and on two
occasions the daily deaths reached 89, viz., on September 7th and 9th; it then declined
slowly for a few days, but afterwards more rapidly, and after destroying 1543 lives
during September, the number fell to 309 in October : the epidemic entirely ceased in
November, during which month it was not fatal to more than 14 persons. The last death
in Leeds was that of a hairdresser, aged 36, at Swinegate, on November 27, alter an attack
of 2 days’ duration. In Hunslet the last 2 deaths took place on November 29th, when
cholera was fatal to a butcher’s daughter, aged 15, at Stocks-hill, after an attack of 16
hours, and to a joiner, aged 42, at Stanningley-road, Wortley.
The following places in Leeds may be mentioned as having suffered much from
cholera: — Grantham-street (No. I in this street was used as an hospital for cholera
patients), Cavalier-street, Accommodation-road, Marsh-lane, Richmond-street and
road, Wellington-yard, York-street, Acorn-street, Byron-street, High-street, Bateson-
street, where 3 persons died on August 28th, at No. 7, and Stainburn-square. In
Hunslet the epidemic severely visited Upper and Lower Wortley, Seacroft, Halton,
Rothwell, Mint Holbeck ; Moor-street, Sdver-street, where 3 female children died at
No. 1 3, in the first week of September ; Water-street, Thwaite-gate, Carr-place, Low-
road, and Pitfield-street. The number of deaths in Leeds was : — Cholera, 1439 (649
males; 790 females) ; diarrhoea, 267 (124 males ; 143 females). In Hunslet ; cholera,
884(433 males; 451 females); diarrhoea, 120 (38 males; 62 females). To every
1 OOOO persons living in Leeds there were from cholera 145 deaths ; and from diarrhoea
27 deaths. In Hunslet the proportion was — from cholera 102 deaths, and from diarrhoea
14 deaths, to every 10000 of the population.
THE TYNEMOUTH CHOLERA FIELD.
On both sides of the Tyne, and up the Tees, the epidemic entered Durham and
Northumberland, devastating the ports and the coal districts. Ascending the north
banks of the Tyne, the mortality was 129 in Tynemouth (including North Shields) ;
41 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne; 12 in Castle Ward, the surrounding district. On the
south side of the Tyne the mortality in South Shields was 69 ; in Gateshead, against
Newcastle, 66 in iocoo. Higher up the Tvne, and round the soum-s of its chief tribu-
taries, the mortality was in Hexham 5 ; in Haltwhistle 3 ; in Bellingham none. Morpeth,
Alnwick, and Berwick on the coast suffered to some extent ; in Belford the mortality
was only 5 ; Glendale 8 in 10000 : there was no death either from cholera or diarrhoea

in Rothbury, extending to the forests and moors around the sources of the Coquet.
Teesdale presents one of those sharp contrasts which we have so often seen. In
Barnard Castle, with a population of 8591, the epidemic killed a carpet-weaver, aged
23, on August 17th; 137 more persons before November 7th. Two or three members
of the same family were in many instances seized and destroyed. The 4954 inhabitants
of Staindrop, and the 6028 dwellers in Middleton entirely escaped, although the three
sub-districts are in the same district.
It is necessary to give a more particular account of the course of the epidemic in
Tynemouth and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Tynemouth suffered in 1848 from epidemic cholera, which commenced on October
10th, and destroyed 28 lives by the close of the year, in addition to a few from summer
cholera, which took place at intervals during an earlier period. In January, 1849,
cholera subsided after causing 5 deaths. Three deaths took place in Pumpwell-lane,
on March 22nd, 25th, and 27th. In April, 2 deaths occurred. No other case is
recorded until July 1st, when the epidemic again appeared, and was fatal to a mariner’s
wife, aged 53, at Dawson’s Quay, after an attack lasting 13 hours. During July 11
deaths occurred. In August the epidemic greatly increased ; the deaths during the
month amounted to 167, and further increased to 429 during September. Ttie daily
mortality reached 26 on September 12th and 15th; but on September 19th, 20th, and
2 1 st the number of deaths averaged only 6 daily; but afterwards increased to 22 on
October 2nd; when the subsidence of the epidemic became more steady, and the
deaths during the month fell to 180; during November only 18 deaths took place,
cholera ceasing to be fatal after November 26th. Cholera was fatal during the year 1849
to 81 5 persons (384 males ; 43 1 females), being at the rate of 1 29 deaths to every 10000
persons living. Diarrhoea was fatal to 89 persons (46 males ; 43 females), being at
the rate of 14 deaths to every 10000 persons living. A table is given in another part
of the Report, showing the progress of the epidemic during each day of its prevalence
in Tynemouth, and the adjoining districts of South Shields, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and
Sunderland.
In Newcastle-upon-Tyne cholera was prevalent in the latter part of 1848 ; 7 fatal
cases occurred subsequent to October 16th. During the first 9 days of January, 1849,
there were 12 deaths; in the succeeding n days only 3 fatal attacks are recorded; a
sudden increase then took place, and from January 21st to 31st, the number of deaths
was 26. During February 22 deaths occurred; 30 in March, and n in April. In
May the only death was that of a weaver’s wife, aged 46, at Gardner’s-building, on
May 1 5th, after an attack of 14 hours’ duration. The epidemic, for a time, discontinued
its ravages, and during the whole of June no fatal case is recorded ; on July 4th, how-
ever, a joiner’s daughter, aged 6, died, at Dent’s-hole, after an attack lasting 3 days ;
this was followed on July 30th, by the death of a miller’s son, aged 18 months, of
measles 6 days, and cholera 3 days’ duration. During August 28 deaths occurred, and
in September the epidemic was at its height, and the deaths during the month
amounted to 127, the greatest number occurring on September 5th, when 14 persons
died. In October the deaths fell to 30; and in November to 3, the last being on
November 16th, at Stepney-square. During the year 1849 cholera was fatal to 295
persons (147 males ; 148 females), the mortality was at the rate of 41 deaths to every
10000 persons living. Diarrhoea was fatal to 1 17 persons (61 males ; 56 females), being
at the rate of 16 deaths to every 10000 persons living.
INFLUENCE OF SEX ON THE MORTALITY FROM CHOLERA.
The deaths from cholera among males were 26,108, females 27,185 ; it consequently
destroyed 1077 more females than males. The proportions were reversed in diarrhoea,
which was fatal to 9637 males, and to 9250 females. The population of England and
Wales returned at the Census without revision was on March 31, 1851, males 8,762,588 ;
females 9,160,180. And correcting for increase of population, the mortality from
cholera at all ages in 1 849 was —
Males 30^2 to 10000 living, or 1 in 331.
Females 30'0 to 10000 living, or 1 in 333.
xl Mortality of Males and Females.
The mortality is thus a shade less among females than it is among males; but the
difference is much less than it is from all other fatal diseases in ordinary years ; when the
total deaths among males is invariably greater than the deaths among females. Thus in
the year 1848 the deaths of males from all causes amounted to 202,949, °f females to
196,851. And in the seven years 1838-44 the annual rate of mortality among males
was 2'2"]0, females 2'ic>4 per cent.
In the Middlesex districts of London 3388 males, and 3612 females, died of cholera;
in the Surrey districts the discrepancy was much greater, for 2814 males and 3509
females died of the disease. In many districts of the kingdom the mortality was much
more fatal to males than to females. In some districts the disease was most fatal to
females. Thus the deaths in Dartford (Kent) were males 68, females 49 ; and the deaths
of males exceeded the deaths of females in other districts on the river and coasts of that
county. In Portsea and Alverstoke 343 males and 351 females died of cholera; in
Yarmouth 53 males and 34 females; Norwich n males and 27 females; Salis-
bury 88 males, and 77 females; Plymouth, Plympton St. Mary, East Sionehouse,
and Stoke Damerel, 907 males and 966 females; Bedminster, Bristol, and Clifton, 695
males and 740 females. In Gloucester, as well as in Wheatenhurst, Stroud, and
Tewkesbury, the number of males that died exceeded the females in the proportion
of 1331096. The same or a greater discrepancy occurred at Madeley and Shrews-
bury, where 106 males and 71 females died. Upon the other hand, 94 males and 147
females died of cholera at Newcastle-under- Lyme. In Stoke-upon-Trent, Wolverhamp-
ton, West Bromwich, and Dudley, the deaths of males considerably exceeded the deaths of
females in number. In Boston, Lincolnshire, 25 males and 10 females died of cholera;
in Caistor 24 males and 5 females ; in Gainsborough no males and 136 females. In
Liverpool, Manchester, and the adjacent districts, the deaths of females exceeded the
deaths of males in number. 1895 males and 2278 females died from cholera in Liver-
pool. The mortality was at the rate of 154 to 10000 in males, and 180 to 10000 in
females; about one-fifth greater therefore in the female than in the male sex. In
Knaresborough 33 males and 20 females; Huddersfield 33 males and 19 females died of
cholera; in Leeds and Hunslet, on the other hand, 1082 males and 1241 females died of
the epidemic. In Wakefield 145 males, 96 females; Rotherham 20 males, 10 females;
Thorne 42 males and 28 females; Pocklington, Howden, and Beverley, near Hull, 76
males, 39 females; in Hull and Sculcoates 868 males, 966 females — the deaths of the
latter being 98 in excess. In Tynemouth and South Shields, Sunderland and Chester-
le-Street, the deaths of females were in excess ; in Newcastle-upon-Tyne nearly equal.
In Cockermouth and Whitehaven the deaths of males were 152, females 209. In the
Welsh districts — Abergavenny, Pontypool, Cardiff, and Merthyr Tydfil — the deaths of
males were in excess.
It is worthy of remark, that at the beginning of the epidemic the deaths of males
exceeded the deaths of females very considerably ; the numbers in the months of
October, November, and December, 1848, were, males 61 2, females 493 ; or in the pro-
portion of 100 to 80. In the prior nine months of that year before the great epidemic
had set in, the deaths of males in England ascribed to cholera were 445, of females
384; numbers in the proportion of 100 and 86.
As a genera! rule, when the mortality from cholera attained a very high rate, the number
of deaths among females exceeded the deaths among males.
In London a remarkable change was observed in the proportion of the sexes affected
in the course of the epidemic. In four weeks of October 1848 the deaths of 80 males
and of 42 females by cholera were registered ; in the thirteen last weeks of the year the
deaths of 258 males and 210 females were reuistered ; and there was an excess of males
at all ages, but particularly in the ten years of age 15-25. In the quarter ending
March 1849, the deaths of males amounted to 250, of females to 266 : at the age of 25
and upwards the excess of deaths among females was considerable. In June, at the com-
mencement of the t/real outbreak , the males again furnished the most numerous victims.
At the close, of July the females died in greater numbers than males, and continued to
do so to the end. In the week that the mortality was highest the deaths of 895 males
and of 1131 females were returned. In the September quarter the deaths of males

under the age of 25 exceeded the deaths of females; hut after that age the proportions
were reversed. The annexed table, as well as a similar table at page clxxiv, is well
worthy of careful study, (a).
MORTALITY AT DIFFERENT AGES.
Cholera was fatal to persons of all ages: it carried off 38 66 boys under 5 years of
age; 3837 men of 25 and under 35; and 2 old men of the age of 95 and upwards.
Dividing the lifetime into 3 stages, the disease carried off 7673 boys and 7045 girls
under 15 years of age; 14861 men and 15767 women of 15 and under 60 years of
age; 3546 men and 4355 women of the age of 60 and upwards. The deaths were
thus most numerous in the middle and most active period of life. The proportions
of deaths at the several ages are different in diarrhoea ; the deaths of children and of
old people being much more numerous than the deaths of persons in the middle
period of life. Thus the deaths of 6794 hoys and 6058 girls under 15, of 1235 men
and 1398 women of the ages 15-60, of 1607 men and 1791 women of the age of
60 and upwards, were referred to diarrhoea. It appears to be exceedingly probable
that the cases of diarrhoea in 1849, barring a certain deduction, are cases of cholera,
with the striking but not essential symptoms suppressed. And it is worthy of observ-
ation that this suppression of morbid action occurs at the ages when the organization
is most feeble, either because the system is not fully developed, or because it is
worn out. Treating the mortality from diarrhoea as complementary to the mortality
from cholera, the annexed table shows that under 5 years of age boys died in the
proportion of 88, and girls in the proportion of 78, to 10000 living; the rate of mor-
tality then rapidly declines to the ages of 10-15 and 15-25; in the next decennial
period 25-35, mortality is of 31 males and 32 females to icooo living of each sex.
At the period 35-45, the mortality to the same numbers living is 41 males and
44 females. Thus at the child-bearing age the mortality is rather greater among
women than among men. From the age of 45 through the subsequent decennial
periods of life, the mortality to 1000c men living increases in the ratios 54, 70, 92,
1 14, 135, which is the maximum at the ages 85-95. The mortality of females increases
jn somewhat different ratios. (See Table page xlii.)

Influence of Age.
The table is obtained by dividing the deaths from cholera and diarrhoea respectively
by the numbers living at the corresponding ages in 1841; and further dividing the
whole of the results by 1-11169,* as a correction for the probable increase of population
in the 8 years 1841-9. This is an approximation to the exact result.
It may be fairly inferred from the table that men of the age of 25-35 are in a cholera
epidemic twice as likely to die as men 10 years younger (15 -25) ; and that from this
period the danger increases with age. The table does not express the liability to an
attack of cholera ; nor the attack having supervened, does it express the chances of re-
covering or of dying. The attacks of disease are not registered ; consequently, there
are no means of throwing light on this question, which falls particularly within the
scope of medical inquiry.
If persons are equally liable to attack at all ages, or if the same proportions of the
living are attacked, the table show's the relative mortality of those attacked at different
ages. If more than an equal proportion of the living are attacked in the early, and less
than the due proportion are attacked at the later ages, the mortality of the table does
not represent the moitality of attacks ; but overstates the mortality of attacks at the
earlier ages.
The mortality from all causes at the same ages, in the 7 years 1838-44, is inserted in
the table (b). Upon comparing this mortality with the mortality from cholera, it will be
seen that the epidemic did not prove fatal to life at different ages in the same degree as
other diseases. If we divide the numbers in column 3 by the numbers in column 4,
the ratio of the two rates of mortality is obtained : it varies at different ages. Thus under
5 years of age in males the mortality from cholera is equal to 12 per cent, of the mortality
from all ordinary causes ; and the greatest relative effect is attained at the age of
35-45, when the mortality from cholera is equal to 33 percent, of the mortality from all
ordinary causes. At the advanced ages, when the absolute mortality from cholera is
highest, its relative effect is least; for the mortality from other diseases increases much
faster than the mortality from that malady. This is shown in the columns 9, 10.

DURATION OF CASES OF CHOLERA.
All diseases have natural stages in which they develop their phenomena, and either
obstruct and destroy life, or give way before its regular healthy processes. The sick
may therefore be classed together, and traced, like the living in a life table, through
all the stages of the malady, until it is extinct, either by the death or recovery of the
patient. Upon this basis a form of sickness table has been constructed, which shows
the probability of death or recovery at every period of disease. The half of such a
table for cholera has been framed from the returns of death, which in 39468 instances
state the duration of the cases in hours and days. If we assume that 100000 per-
sons are attacked by cholera, that 60532 recover, and that 39468 die at the several
periods of the disease indicated in the table, some of the properties of the complete
tables become immediately apparent. Thus the probability that a person attacked will
die in less than 24 hours is expressed by the fraction — = ’20684; the chances
T 100000
are, therefore, nearly 4 to 1 that he will not die in 24 hours. The chance that he will
die in 3 days is expressed by — = ’31186; and the chance that he will
1 00000
not die before but after 3 days is *08282. The chance that, having survived the
dangers of the first 3 days, he will yet die of cholera, are 4— It
J 100000 — 31186 68814
is 60532 to 8282, or more than 7 to I, that the patient will recover if he does not die
in 3 days after the first attack.
The table (c) p. xliv. supplies a ready means of calculating the future duration of
fatal cases of cholera at any stage of the disease. Thus it is found that the mean dura-
tion of the fatal disease in females is 2’i02 days, in males 2' 060 days; or 50*44
hours in females, and 49*44 hours in males. The woman attacked lives on an average
an hour longer than the man. The duration of life, alter well-marked symptoms of a
fatal attack of cholera have set in, appears to diminish as age advances. Dividing the
cases into three groups, the following results are obtained : — •
Duration of Fatal Cases of Cholera at various Ages.

2*121 = 50*904
1*954 = 46*896
1 ‘ 97 3 = 47*352
The stated duration differs more than 4 hours, and is in excess in the first 20 years
of adult age.
Fatal diarrhoea is a disease of much longer duration; and it agrees with cholera in
being of somewhat longer duration in females than in males ; in both sexes, at the age
15-35# than at a8es further advanced.

The fatal cases of cholera were preceded frequently, if not invariably, by a stage of
diarrhoea, which attracted little or no attention. That stage is, it is believed, not.

made the returns, from the manifestation of the first characteristic symptoms of the

leaving 10922, or rather more than half the number of those who die, alive at the end of 18 hours. If a man is to die of
epidemic cholera, it is probable that he will die in the first day (24 hours), as out of 19232 males who die, 10187 die within,
and 9045 survive that period.
THE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC OF 1831-2 AND THE EPIDEMIC OF 1848-9 COMPARED.
The Board of Health in 1831-2 collected much information respecting the epidemic
which it was their office to combat. A table was prepared showing the names of places

attacked, the date of the first case, the date of the last case, the number of days’ dura-
tion, the total deaths, the total recoveries, the proportion of deaths to cases, the popula-
tion, the proportion of population attacked, and the proportion of deaths in population ;
and all the places were numbered on one of Arrowsmith’s large maps. The table and
map are now in the library of Her Majesty the Queen. At the instance of Sir James
Clark copies have been made of these valuable documents, jand are deposited in the
General Register Office. According to the returns the deaths from cholera in
“London and its vicinity,” between February 14th and December 1 8 th , 1832, were
5275; the deaths in “the country” were 26101; the total deaths in Great Britain,
31376. The deaths in Ireland up to March 1st, 1833, were 21171 ; making the deaths
in the United Kingdom 52547. The deaths of the year 1832 in England and Wales
amounted to less than half the number which were registered in 1849. But the returns
which the Board of Health in 1832 procured were voluntary, partial, and evidently
defective. The population of the places in Great Britain which made returns was
5223657 ; so it would appear that a majority of the places in the country altogether
escaped attack or notice.
Notwithstanding the defects of the returns of 1832, they furnish us with the means
of satisfactorily showing that the epidemic generally followed the same track in 1848-9
as it did in 1831-2, but that it was much more fatal in some places, and less fatal in
others at the two periods. Thus, in the following districts the mortality from cholera was
greater in the year 1849 than in the year 1832 ( d ). The places for 1832 are towns or
cities, and do not often include all the same parishes as the districts of 1849 ; but as
the populations at the two nearest censuses are given, the rates of mortality during the
two epidemics can be fairly compared.
In the following places the mortality was much less in 1849 than in 1832 ; and there
can be no doubt about this result ( e ).

INFLUENCE OF THE SEASONS IN 1831-2 AND 1818-9.
The two epidemics of cholera in England continued fifteen months; they began in
October, spread gradually, increased, and then as spring advanced partially subsided.
The first eruption in 1848-9 extended pver seven months; it attained its greatest
intensity on the fourth month. The mortality in this eruption was not considerable. If
the total deaths in the 15 months be represented by 1000, the deaths in the 7 months
from October, 1848, to April, 1849, are expressed by 47 ; the deaths in the 7 months
of 1849, from May to November, by 950; the deaths in December by 3 ; or the deaths
in the first 7 months were less than 5 per cent, of the total deaths, and two-thirds of the
total deaths happened in August and September. The returns of 1831-2 were made
to the Board of Health, and were necessarily imperfect, but their general indications are
probably correct; and the distribution of 30924 deaths over 14 months, given by Sir
David Barry, represents with sufficient accuracy the distribution of all the deaths from
cholera over the 14 months, from November, 1831, to December, 1832. If the total
deaths in this epidemic be represented by 1000, the deaths in the first eruption, from
November, 1831, to May, 1832, are expressed by 174, and the deaths in the second
eruption, extending from May, 1832, to December, by 826; or the deaths in the first
eruption were about 17 per cent, of the total deaths, and the deaths in August and Sep-
tember were somewhat less than half (4 6 per cent, of) the total deaths. The first epi-
demic descended to the lowest point in May, 1832, and rose to the highest pitch in August,
when it caused 29 per cent, of the total deaths. The second epidemic descended to
the lowest point in April, 1849, and was most fatal in September, when it caused
37 per cent, of the total deaths. It is worthy of remark, that the cholera in both
epidemics entered England after the wheat harvest was over, at the close of the hot
season, and that it was most fatal in and after the wheat harvest of the year following.
The annexed Table ( g ), p. xlvii, shows the distribution of the deaths in the two
epidemics over the several months; and Table (/<) is added for a comparison of the
distribution of the deaths in Loudon and Paris over the monthly periods of the epidemic.
In both cities each epidemic had a double eruption. The epidemic began earlief in
London than in Paris, yet the maximum mortality was attained two months sooner in
Paris than in London. The population of Paris is more dense than the population of
London; and the mortality in both the epidemics was about three times as great in
Paris as it was in London. In 1849 the mortality was greater in Paris than in Liverpool.
METEOROLOGICAL INFLUENCES.
Diagrams.
Two diagrams, illustrative of the progress of cholera, and of the meteorological
phenomena on every day of the year 1849, are appended to the Report. The second
Plate shows the temperature, the fall of rain, the direction of the wind, and the height
of the barometer on every day at Greenwich. The meteorological phenomena admit
therefore of strict comparison only with the line of cholera in London, Plate III.; but
the general character of the weather all over the country is indicated by this series of
observations. Thus, the weather was cold in the first half of January; and the line

Plague Years — Diagrams.
temperature remained high, then cholera rose much higher ; in September the temperature
begins to descend, and the cholera line shoots up its highest points, attaining the greatest
elevation when the curve of temperature is descending. The form of the cholera
curve for all England is very remarkable: the successive terraces and pinnacles of the
Plate resemble sections of the primitive mountain formations, surmounted by spires and
aiguilles of granite; or recall the lines of a strange Gothic architecture.
The circular diagrams are of a new form, which may serve very well to illustrate
periodic phenomena. From the observations of 79 years (1771-1849), Mr. Glaisher
had represented the mean temperature of each day of the year by a curve laid down in
the usual way on a straight line; and it appeared natural to join the two ends of the
line by substituting the radii of a circle for the ordinates, and the angular divisions of
the circle for the abscissas. By this arrangement a diagram of a compact form is
obtained. It is a modification of the simple dial arrangement in general use. The
circle struck round the radii representing the averages — with the different colouring of
the radii extending beyond and falling short of the circle — makes the diagram represent
the facts in a striking manner to the eye.
The diagrams of Plate IV. are described at the foot of the sheet.* A separate diagram
for London is given for each of the 11 years from 1840 to 1850. The last diagram
represents the average result of the io years 1840-9 ; and a new element in the centre
— the average length of the day in each week. The radiating power of the sun depends
(1) on the time it is above the horizon, and (2) on its angular elevation. As both these
elements attain their maximum in the summer solstice, the greatest heating power of
the sun is then exerted, but its effect on the atmosphere goes on accumulating, and the
temperature of the air is highest later in the year. The red crescent representing heat
on the diagram is deflected 3 weeks to the right ; and the blue crescent representing
cold is deflected to the same extent. As the greatest effect on the air appears some
weeks after the sun has exeited its utmost power, so the diseases which excessive
heat favours appear some time after the temperature of the air has been highest.
Thus the temperature rises above the average at the 17th week, and falls below the
average at the 42nd week ; the mortality from summer diseases rises above the average
at the 30th, and falls below the average at the 40th week. In the years 1844, 1846,
1847, 1848, and 1849, it will be seen that the summer mortality exceeds the average
when the temperature is for sometime above 6o° ; and in every year the mortality
exceeds the average when the temperature descends below 40° Fahrenheit.
London has two healthy and two unhealthy seasons; the first healthy season extends
from the 14th to the 29th week, through April, May, June, and the greater part of
July ; the. second healthy season extends from the 40th to the 47th week, through
October and November. The first unhealthy season extends over December, January,
and February ; the second over August and September.
PLAGUE AND CHOLERA YEARS.
The fifth Plate, in a series of eight circular diagrams, presents a view of the mortality
of London in the seasons and weeks of ordinary and plague years.
The first two diagrams deserve particular attention ; the radii of the inner circles
represent the relative average weekly mortality of the years 1840-9 and 1640-6. How
much London in the nineteenth is less fatal to its inhabitants than London in the
seventeenth century, is evident from these lines ; and the improvement is still more
striking, when the mortality of cholera — great as it was — is compared with the mortality
of the five plagues in the 73 years, 1593-1665.
The years 1640-6 have been selected to represent the ordinary city mortality of the
17th century, because the weekly returns are still extant, and are comparatively free from
plague. The second diagram represents the average weekly mortality of these years ; and
it will be observed that there is a great excess of mortality in August, September,
October, and part of November. It was the unhealthy season. April, May, and June
* The lirst circular diagrams representing the mortality and temperature in London during each week,
and the diagrams of the plugues in London, were constructed in February 1850. The diagrams showing
the daily mortality from cholera in England and in the 11 Divisions were constructed in September 1850.

were the healthiest months, but the mortality was then little lower than in winter. The
mortality in winter was higher than it is in the present day; but the mortality from the
diseases of summer was raised so much higher in proportion than the mortality from
winter diseases, that it made tiie winter look comparatively healthy.
The circles are divided by two diameters into four quarters; and it will be observed
that all the plagues are projected on the same side, four of five in the same quadrant of
the circle. The harvest months were the death months of the year. It was the same in
the 14th, 1 5th, and 16th centuries, when the black death and the sweating sickness
were rife.
As a population grows healthier, the annual mortality fluctuates less and less from
year to year: the fluctuation in the mortality of the seasons also diminishes. The
eccentric figure which circumscribes the radii representing the relative force of mortality
in the 52 parts of the earth’s orbit, gradually tends to become a circle, or a figure of the
ellipsoid type. In its first stage it has some resemblance to the cometary orbit ; in its
second to the regular orbits of planets.
It maybe stated as a general result of many observations in Europe, that whenever
the mortality of the 6 mouths after the summer solstice is much greater than the
mortality of the first 6 months of the year, the absolute mortality of the place is high.
FATAL DAYS OF THE WEEK.
On Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the deaths from cholera were
above, and on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday below the average. In the whole
country Tuesday was the most, Friday the least — fatal day of the week. The disparity
in the deaths was greatest in London, where 2194 persons died on Mondays, 2136 on
Tuesdays, and only 1927 on Thursdays, and 1824 on Fridays. The distribution of
the deaths over the days of the week is shown below, in the table («).
In reading the table it must be recollected that the days given are the days on
which deaths occurred , and that half the deaths happen in the twenty-four hours after
the attack.
The weekly wages are generally paid on the Saturdays ; and the Mondays in London
and other cities are days on which a certain proportion of the population indulge in
intoxicating drinks. The Fridays are days of comparative abstinence.
LOCALITY.
Many instances have been given of the partial ravages of cholera. The influence of
locality, however, is so great, that it requires further illustration. By collecting the
districts together in which the mortality was high, we find this striking result : that

Influence of Locality.
46592 of the 53293 deaths from cholera in the year 1849 occurred in 134 of 623
districts; or in less than a seventh part of the area of England and Wales, among four
parts in ten of the population. Only 6701 deaths took place out of 10 millions of
people on 49228 square miles of territory.
The area of England and Wales is equal to 57067 square miles, and may be repre-
sented by a square of 239 miles to the side; now the districts comparatively free being
represented by a square of 222 miles to the side in the centre, the band miles broad
round this inner square represents the extent of area on which 46592 of the deaths
happened. The facts are shown in the Table (A).
Again, in 85 districts of England and Wales no death from cholera was registered in
1849; not a single death from either cholera or diarrhoea was registered in 12 of those
districts; namely, Christchurch and Alresford, in Hampshire , Northleach, in Glou-
cestershire; Ledbury, in Herefordshire ; Sedbergh, in Yorkshire; Bellingham and
Rothbury, in Northumberland ; Bootle, in Cumberland ; Newcastle-in-Emlvn, Aber-
ayron, Tregaron, in Cardiganshire ; and Dolgelly, in Merionethshire. No death
from cholera took place in 8 out of 37 districts of Hampshire and Berkshire; while
only 3 in 38 districts of Kent and Surrey (exclusive of the part in London) were
exempt : there was one or more deaths in every district of Sussex, Middlesex, Hert-
fordshire, Huntingdonshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Rutlandshire, Lincolnshire,
Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, East Riding of Yorkshire, Durham, Monmouthshire,
and Cornwall. One district escaped in the 7 districts of Buckinghamshire ; 7 in 21 of
Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire; 2 of 17 in Essex; 9 in 39 of Suffolk and
Norfolk; 5 in 54 of Wiltshire, Devonshire, and Somersetshire; 5 in n of Dorsetshire ;
5 in 6 of Herefordshire; 7 in 28 of Gloucestershire and Worcestershire; 4 in 29 of
Shropshire and Warwickshire; 1 in 16 of Staffordshire; 1 in 9 of Nottinghamshire;
4 in 11 of Leicestershire ; 2 in 28 of the West Riding of Yorkshire ; 7 in 36 districts
of Northumberland, Cumberland, and the North Riding of Yorkshire ; 2 in 3 of West-
morland ; and 12 in 43 of the districts of Wales.
The only town of any magnitude in the 85 districts is Hereford. The other districts
arc made up of villages or small towns.
The 85 districts are given in the Table, pp. cxl-cxli. The population, the deaths from
diarrhoea, and the deaths from all causes in the 10 years 1841-50, are annexed (/).
It is worthy of remark that the population in the 12 districts which were unvisited by
cholera or diarrhoea was nearly stationary; it amounted to 120792 in 1841, and
1213671111850. There must have been emigration, and little immigration. The
annual mortality in the 10 years 1841-50 was also exceedingly low; it did not

In the 73 districts which escaped cholera, but lost some lives by diarrhoea, the popu-
lation increased only 3 per cent, in 10 years; and the annual mortality was on an
average 1 *905 per cent.
In the county of Hereford only one death from cholera was registered in 1 849. A
labourer’s son, aged 9, died 'of cholera at Bargates, Leominster, on September 30. This
county lies high ; the population is scattered over the country, and engaged in agri-
culture : it is out of the line of railways. The common drink of the people is cider.
A straw-bonnet maker, aged 27, died of cholera in Kirkbv Stephen on July 26th,
1849. It was the only death from cholera in Westmorland.
The 85 districts which escaped the epidemic cholera in 1849, lay in general high,
round the sources of rivers, and were thinly peopled. Cardigan, Aberystwith, Abe-
rayon, Machynlleth, Dolgelly, Conwav, in Wales ; Bootle, in Cumberland ; Lvmington
and Christchurch, in Hampshire; Blotield, Wabingham, and Freebridge L\nn, in
Norfolk ; and Plomesgate in Suffolk, though thinly peopled, are on the coast, or on the
navigable parts of rivers, which 208 districts adjoin. Thus 13 in 208, or 6 percent, of
the districts on the coast escaped, while 72 in 415, or 17 per cent, of the inland districts,
enjoyed immunity ( m ).

Coast Districts.
The cholera was three times more fatal on the coast than in the interior of the
country. This is shown clearly in Table (m). 36241 of the deaths from cholera
occurred in the districts lying against the low navigable rivers and the seas ; 17052 in
the interior of this circle ; and as the population of the coast districts was nearly 77 mil-
lions, and that of the part of the country within this circuit, 10J millions, the mortality
in the coast districts was at the rate of 50, in the inland districts at the rate of 17
in 10000.
The character of the coast varies; and by a further analysis it is found that the fatality
of cholera on the coast was greatest in the chief seaport districts. Thus 26773, or
more than half the deaths in the country from cholera, happened in the districts of
or about London, Liverpool, Hull, Bristol, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Southampton, and
Tynemouth.
London, having the mixed character of a seaport town and an inland city, may for
the present, be set aside : we have then three groups of coast districts (»).
The mortality in the great ports was at the rate of 125 in 10000 inhabitants ; in
the 125 coast districts with small ports, often inaccessible to ships, the mortality in 10000
was only 1 5 ; which is one-eighth part of the mortality in the great, one-third part of
the mortality (47) in the secondary ports.
Cholera reigned wherever it found a dense population on the low alluvial soils of
rivers, round the estuaries of the Thames, the Humber, the Mersey, the Severn, the
Tamar, and their tributary waters.
Certain cities and towns lie on the same rivers at different elevations, and are inti-
mately connected ; the one is the port and entrepot, the other the manufacturing seat
and centre of the surrounding country. Liverpool, Manchester, and other districts are
thus related. It will be found that cholera prevailed at both extremities of the con-
necting line ; but that it was almost invariably most fatal in the port or district lying
lowest down the river (0).
Two large groups of districts have been thrown together. 1st. The 47 districts on the
river and sea margins, which comprise the principal ports except London ; and 41 of
the large town districts in the interior of the country, seated also on rivers, but nearer
their sources, and at higher elevations. The inland districts are more densely peopled
than the maritime districts ; and the mortality, in ordinary times high in both regions,

is highest in the inland towns ; yet the cholera in the low sea-side districts destroyed
85 in 10000 of the inhabitants, while in the inland towns it was fatal to 38 in 10000
of the inhabitants. The fatality was as 2j to 1. The metropolis, with its mixed popu-
lation, experienced an intermediate mortality ; 62 in 10000 of the inhabitants died of
cholera. The mortality from cholera in the rest of the kingdom, on smaller streams
and higher ground, was at the rate of only 12 in every 10000 of the 11 millions of
people. It is worthy of observation, that while diarrhoea was fatal to 7 in 10000 of the
people in those districts, it was fatal to 17 or 18 in iooooof the people inhabiting each
group of the town districts ( p , q).
From the want of data, we cannot give the exact elevation of the districts ; but we
have here the facts that while the mortality from cholera was much higher in the three
groups of dense town districts, rapidly increasing by the influx of immigrants, than
in the rest of the country, the other elements — (1), of depression, (2), of alluvial soil,

or (3), of whatever else characterises our seaport towns, are of primary importance. In
some of the large inland towns the cholera was scarcely at all fatal ; the deaths it caused
in 1849 in Cambridge were only 5, Colchester 4, Cheltenham 6, Hereford o, Stafford 3,
Birmingham and Aston 35, Leicester 2, Lincoln 7, Nottingham 18, Derby 18. It
destroyed 202 lives in Coventry, 116 in Shrewsbury, 174 in York, and 165 in Salisbury;
but of the 8193 deaths from cholera in the Table (r), 3438 took place in Leeds, Hunslet,
Manchester, and Salford, which are great towns intimately connected by railways,
canals, and roads, with Liverpool and Hull ; and 3047 in Wolverhampton and Merthyr
Tydfil. Subtracting the 6485 deaths from cholera in these 6 districts, 1708 deaths
remain, which represent the deaths from cholera in 35 of the largest inland town dis-
tricts of the kingdom (r).
The low-lving towns on the coast were all attacked by cholera. Scarborough, Kings
Lynn, and Deal in the Eastry District, on the coast, enjoyed as much immunity as the
inland towns; thev were the only considerable towns on the coast that escaped.
Cardiff is the port of the Merthyr Tydfil district. Situated in the interior, the centre
of the great Glamorganshire iron works is about 20 miles from Cardiff, with which the
Cardiff Canal, the Taf River, and the roads connect it. Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil are

therefore connected with each other in the same way as the towns previously mentioned
(p. liii., Table o) ; but in this respect they differ, that the mortality is greater in the high
district than in the low port town ( s ).
The mortality, great in both places, was considerably greater in Merthyr Tydfil than
in Cardiff.* The epidemic, however, began first at Cardiff. The canal at Cardiff was
emptied, and the mud lay exposed to the sun in the spring. On May 13th a navigator
died of Asiatic cholera at Cardiff; the first death in Lower Merthyr Tydfil was on
May 2 1 st; the first death in Upper Merthyr Tydfil on May 26th. The epidemic broke
out a few days earlier, and subsided sooner in the port than in the inland mining district.
The canal mud lay exposed, and the houses were crowded and dirty in the poor streets
of Cardiff, but the insalubrious condition of Merthyr Tydfil exceeds that of the old settled
town.
The place is thus described in the Quarterly Report :f — “ The most populous parts of
Merthyr-Tydfil are well situated on sloping ground, a very small portion being on a
level. Merthyr church is 500 feet above the docks at Cardiff, Pen-v-Dran higher, and
Dowlais about 400 feet above Merthyr.” “ Hence,” says Sir H. T. De la Beche, “ the
situation of Merthyr is open, airy, and well exposed.” Such is the natural situation.
The evidence collected by the Health of Towns’ Commissioners shows by what process
the advantages of situation have been sacrificed by the men and the iron-masters —
“ From the poorer class of the inhabitants, who constitute the mass of the population,
throwing all slops and refuse into the nearest open gutter before their houses, from the
impeded courses of such channels, and the scarcity of privies, some parts of the town
are complete networks of filth emitting noxious exhalations .” “During the rapid
increase of this town, no attention seems to have been paid to its drainage ! ”
“ There are no regulations for draining the town ; the surface water is retained ;
there are stagnant pools and ditches contiguous to the dwellings.” There are
“no dust-bins,” “no scavengers,” “the liquid refuse is allowed to remain on the
surface,” or “thrown into the water courses,” which are “cleansed by the rain only.”
“ The main streets — not the courts and alleys — are occasionally cleansed by the Turn-
pike Trust Commissioners some of the “ town refuse” is carried to “ waste parts of
the town, and the beds of the rivers Taf and Morlais; after a long drought the stench
is almost intolerable in many places. ”f The houses of small but respectable trades-
people are unprovided with privies. The interior of many of the houses is cleanly and
well kept ; the Dowlais Company undertake to carry away the ashes of the inhabitants
of Dowlais at the rate of id. per week for each house. The houses are chiefly supplied

with water by pumps and wells ; the supply is scanty, and as most of the wells are fed
by surface waters, it may be doubted if they can be free from a mixture with impurities
derived from the bouse refuse soaking into the ground in all directions. The most
wretched part of Dowlais is “ the cellars,” a collection of small houses in a depression
between a line of road, a cinder heap, and the river Taf. “ An open, stinking, and
nearly stagnant gutter, into which the house refuse is as usual flung, moves slowly
before the doors.”
While there were no deaths from cholera in, the small towns of Christchurch and
Ringwood on the lower part of the Avon in Hampshire, the epidemic was excessively
fatal higher up the riveT, in Salisbury, which is connected with Southampton and Ports-
mouth by a line of railway. Salisbury is always an unhealthy place ; it is on a low
damp valley, in the midst- of water meadows ; the courts and alleys where the lower
classes reside, are in a filthy state, and derive no benefit from the general system of
cleansing carried on in the main streets. There is a mill-dam ; “ and any attempt,” says
Captain Denison, “ to improve the general drainage w'ould be imprac'icable; it would
interfere w ith too many interests.”* The population of the town has slightly decreased
in the io years 1841 -51.
Newcastle-under-Lyme is another instance of mortality from cholera on high land.
This district suffered severely. Out of a population of about 20000, there were 241
deaths from cholera. The town, on some of the highest ground in the interior of
England, is about 400 feet above the level of the sea, and not far from the sources of
the Trent; it is in a basin, and the Lyme, dammed by a mill, is an open sewer
running through the town and sending up from its polluted, black, muddy bed exhala-
tions w hich poison the inhabitants. The mayor was one of the victims.
Bilston, in the Wolverhampton District, also in the interior of the country, sufFered
severely from the epidemic. The place and the people have often been described:
nothing can be worse than the circumstances in which they live or die.
Epidemic cholera w'as raging in Hamburgh when the first cases were noticed in the
ports of London, Hull, Sunderland, on the east coast of England, opposite, and in con-
stant commercial relation with that continental port. The epidemic appeared in an
unequivocal form at the commencement of October, 1848 ; yet it made little progress
until the spring of 1849, when it gradually spread from the coast and river mouths to
the interior oi the countrv. Noiicing only the great eruption, it appeared at. Liver-
pool, on the Mersey, March 10th; Manchester, in the interior, June 25th; and
Wigan, July glh. As it went from Cardiff to Merthyr Tydfil, so ascending the Usk,
it broke out at Newport, on May 291I1 ; Abergavenny, on June 3rd; Crichhowell, on
July 2 1 st. On the Lower Avon it was at Clifton on May 24th; Bristol, June 1st;
Bcdminster, July 8th. Gloucester, on the Severn, was attacked on May 4th ; Shrews-
bury, higher up the river, on July 25th. The great Wolverhampton cholera field,
in the interior of the country, was attacked late; Wolverhampton, on July 17th;
Stourbridge, August 10th; Walsall, August 25th; West Bromwich, August 31st.
On the south coast the chief epidemic broke out at Plymouth, on June 3th ; Stoke
Damerel, July 4th; Tavistock, higher up the country, July 24th. Southampton
was attacked on June 30th ; the low Portsea Island, July 2nd; Alverstoke, July 6lh;
Salisbury. July 10th. The epidemic in the London field began to be fatal in London
itself about May 25th; in Brighton, June 13th; Gravesend, June 29th; Brent-
ford, June 29th; Rochf’ord, July 51b; Thanet, including Ramsgate and Margate,
July 14th. Up the river Lea, Hertford was attacked August 21st; Hitchin, further
north , August 27th. The first cases on the Humber, and its tributaries, occurred at
Hull in 1848; but the outbreak of the great epidemic occurred first at Leeds, on June
14th; Hull, July 7th ; Sculcoates, July 23rd; Gainsborough, August 4th; Howden,
August 2nd ; Selby, August 13th; Goole, August 6th ; Thorne, August 19th. On the
river Tees the epidemic began at Stockton, July 7th; at Teesdale, higher up the
country, on August 17th.

Causes of the Mortality in London.
The epidemic appeared, it will be recollected, at the port of Sunderland, on the
Wear, October 4th, 1848. The epidemic of 1849 broke out at Durham, higher up the
river, on May 12th; at Sunderland there was one outbreak on March 4th, and a
second on June 28th. The seaport was first invaded; and in the great outbreak, the
inland town, on the Wear, was neither the first nor the greatest sufferer. The low
ports of the Tyne were the first attacked on that river; the epidemic appeared at South
Shields on June 2nd; Tynemouth, July 1st; higher up the river, at Newcastle-upon-
Tyne, on July 30th; Gateshead, August nth. The shaded map, showing the rivers
and the dates of attack, may be advantageously studied.
The cholera epidemic then first appeared in the ports of England, and gradually
extended into the interior of the country.
Cholera attacked the greater part of the districts on the coal-fields of England, and
was most fatal in the denser masses of the mining population. Mining operations have,
in all times, and in all places, been fatal to man: chiefly in consequence of the neg-
ligent habits of the people, and the absence of the health regulations which exist
in towns possessing a municipal organization. The ground on the coal formation
may have lent the epidemic fatality. The annexed Table shows the population and the
deaths from cholera, and from all causes, in the principal districts on the coal-fields of
the country. The mortality from cholera was 46 in 10000, from diarrhoea 13, in
these districts; which, it will be noticed, increase at the rate of i'8 per cent,
annually, and every year lose 23 in IOOOO of their inhabitants by death of one kind
or other ( t ).
The epidemic was not generally fatal on the primary geological formations — on the
granite, the Silurian, or the Devonian systems ; while Herefordshire, however, on the
old red sandstone, escaped, Cornwall and the south of Devon, on the same formation
suffered severely. Plymouth, and the districts around the Sound, into which the Tamar
flows, was one of the principal cholera fields ; but it is a port, and the mouth of a
river which rises partially in the millstone grit, forming a part of the carboniferous
system.
A few scattered cases occurred in the marshy districts of Lincolnshire ; but the mor-
tality was inconsiderable, and below the average. The marsh districts in the interior
of Cambridgeshire also escaped, down to the Ely district; North Witchford, Whittlesey
and Wisbeach suffered. So did some of the marsh districts of Essex and Kent on the
estuary of the Thames. In the Romney Marsh district only one death from cholera
occurred.

The Thames and the Water Supply.
varying conditions of place and population on the mortality. The first cases of the
epidemic appeared in the heart of the port ; and it was noticed at an early period that
the mortality was much higher on the south side than on the north side of the Thames.
The south side of the river is low and badly drained ; and it was deemed desirable to
ascertain if possible the state of the sewers and drainage in every district, in order to
determine the effects of emanations from the soil.
The principal elements which are likely to influence the mortality of an epidemic,
and which we have the means pf investigating, are the water supply, the drainage and
elevation of soil, the density of population, and the poverty of the inhabitants. Lon-
don consists of 36 registration districts — which are here made 38 — as for the purpose
of ttds inquiry we separate the low Belgrave sub-district from the rest of St. George
Hanover Square, and detach Paddington from the Kensington district. The popu-
lation of each of the 38 districts was returned in 1841 and 1851, and the rate of
increase among females furnished a means of estimating the population in 1849. The
deaths from cholera in 1849 divided by the population gave the rate of mortality for
each district, as shown in the column headed c in the tables. The elevation and
are a of each district have been estimated by Major Dawson, R.E., from the maps
furnished to the Sewers’ Commission by the recent Ordnance Survey. The area of
districts adjacent to the Thames includes the river. The relative density, expressed by-
persons to an acre, is obtained by dividing the population of 1 849 by the number of acres
in each district. The number of persons to an inhabited house is foriheyear 1841, and
has not since greatly varied. The relative wealth or poverty of the districts of the
metropolis bears a c rtain relation to the annual value of the houses ; which was ob-
tained from the parliamentary return of the value of houses as assessed under the
Income Tax for the year 1842-3. The division of this value in pounds by the number
of inhabited houses, and by the population of 1841, gives the average annual value of
houses, and the annual value of house and shop room, sufficiently near for the present
purpose. The poor rate in the £ is added for 1842-3. The mortality of each district
from all cau.-es in the 7 years 1838-44 is also given.
After these calculations had been made, the 38 districts were arranged in five dif-
ferent orders ; — ist, in the order of their mortality from cholera ; 2nd, in the order of the
elevation of the soil above the Trinity high-water mark ; 3rd, in the order of their
density ; 4th, in the order of their wealth deduced from the value of the houses ; and,
5th, in the order of their mortality from all causes in the ordinary years 1838-44. The
sources of the water supply are also indicated in the tables.
In the various combinations of the results, each district, whatever may be its extent,
is considered to represent a certain state of things, and is therefore treated as of the
same average extent ; which is equivalent to dealing with an equal amount of the
average population of the 38 districts.
The Sewers* Commission had an underground survey in progress, but it was in-
complete. The Ordnance Survey supplied the elevation of the different parts, and in
the absence of more precise information, it was thought that the elevation would at
least furnish a good general notion of the natural drainage of the London districts.
THE THAMES AND THE WATER SUPPLY.
But before proceeding further in this branch of the inquiry, the effect of the river
Thames and of the w’ater supply on the health of London must be noticed. The Thames
collects the watersof 6160 square miles of country, extending from the Cotswold Hills in
Gloucestershire to the eastern coast ; and the great body of this water flows and reflows
through London in tides ; which carry the matter below London Bridge, a mile and a
half above Battersea Bridge twice a day, and ascend as high as Teddmgton. The con-
tents of the greater part of the drains, sinks, and water-closets of this vast city and of the
2,360,000 people on its sides, are discharged through the sewers into its waters ; which,
scarcely sullied by the primitive inhabitants, have now lost all their clearness uud
purity. '1'he dark, turbid, dirty waters Irom half-stagnant sewers are agitated by the
tides, but are not purified until they reach the sea.
lix
The Thames and the Water Supply.
The Thames presents a large evaporating surface which must be taken into account,
and it gives off vapours day and night in quantities which the phenomena of a “ London
fog” reveal. The still air then condenses the matter which at other times enters the
atmosphere invisibly, and escapes observation. The mean lowest night temperature of
the Tiiames from May 27th to September 15th, 1849, was 64°; the mean lowest night
temperature of the air was 52’; so that the wide simmering waters were breathing
incessantly into the vast sleeping city tainted vapours, which the temperature of the
air at night would not sustain.
it is a fact well worthy of attention, that after the temperature of the Thames has
risen above 60, diarrhoea, summer cholera, and dysentery become prevalent, and dis-
appear as the temperature subsides. The cholera reached London in the new epidemic
form about October, 1848 ; it prevailed through the winter, and destroyed 94 lives in
the second week of Januarv, when the temperature of the Thames was 37° ; it declined
rapidly through April and May ; the night temperature of the Thames then rose to 62° in
the week ending June 2nd ; with some fluctuations it went up to 68° in July, and remained
above 6o° until the middle of September (week ending September 15th). The deaths
from cholera registered during each of the 16 weeks were 9, 22, 42, 49, 124, 152, 339,
678, 783, 926, 823, 1230, 1272,1663,2026,1682. The mean night temperature of
the Thames fell to 56°; the deaths from cholera to 839 in the week September 16-22 ;
the temperature gradually fell to 38° on the last week of November, when there was only
one death from cholera registered.
The mortality from cholera increases generally in descending the river on the south
side; in Wandsworth it was at the rate of 100 in 10000 inhabitants, in Lambeth 120,
St. Saviour 153, St. Olave 1 8 1 , Bermondsey 161, Rotherhithe 205, where the water
was perhaps most impure, Greenwich 75, where it had lost some of its impurities.
On the north side, commencing at the highest part of the river, the mortality from
cholera was, in Kensington 33, Chelsea 46, Belgravia 28, Westminster 68, St. Martin-
in-the-Fields 37, Strand 35, West London (on the old Fleet Ditch) 96, London city 38.
East London 45, Whitechapel 64, St. George in the East 42, Stepney 47, Poplar 71,
The mortality trom cholera in the three sub-districts of Stepney, adjoining the Thames
was twice as great as in the two districts away from the river. The result is here
disturbed by elevation. No good analysis has been made of the Thames water at
different points of its course ; but the matter in suspension is perhaps greatest between
London Bridge and Limehouse Reach, against Rotherhithe.
The seven districts of London in which the mortality is highest from ordinary causes,
are the West London District (between Smithfield and the Thames), St. Saviour,
Whitechapel, St. George in-the-East, Chelsea, St. Olave, and Rotherhithe. They all
adjoin the Thames.
Mr. Glaisher, of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, was requested to make an
estimate of the amount of vapour raised by evaporation from the Thames in London, and
favoured the Registrar-General with the subjoined statement: —
“ For some years past I have made daily experiments upon the amount of water evaporated from a
surface of water, and the amount exceeded 30 inches annually.
“ A depth of water of fully 30 inches must evaporate from the surface of the Thames annually ; in-
deed the quantity must be larger than this from the circumstance of its relative high night temperature.
Take it, however, at 30 inches, and we shall have —
2 ‘5 X 9 X 4840 = 108900 cubic feet evaporated in a year from an area of water of one acre.
~o°^6°5 = ^7®5°5 9att°ns °f water evaporated in one year from an acre of water.
108900 X 2245 = 244,480,500 cubic feet of water evaporated from asurface of 2245 acres of water
in one year.
= 1 , 5 23 , 242 , 99 1 gallons of water evaporated in one year from a surface of water of
2245 acres in extent, or more than 1523 millions of gallons. The salt water affects the water at Wool-
wich: it is usually what is termed brackish there. Lieut. Sanders states that at Greenwich, at high-
water spring tides, the water is frequently brackish.
“ The dirt and filth in solution must be very large. The ‘ Dreadnought ’ experiments are made under
my direction chiefly, and 1 can assure you that to read the instruments is a serious affair, owing to the filth
of the waters ; on first pulling them up they are covered with a slimy adhesive mud ; they first have to
be wiped, and if the wind is blowing strongly, this muddy water is blown about and over the observer.
lx The London Water Companies.
A new trunk is now being made, with a perforated copper-bottrm turning d lwnwards upon hinges, so as
to get rid of the enormous deposit.”
Upon Mr. Glaisher’s estimate, 678505 gallons evaporate from an acre of water in a
year, which is at the rate of 1 8 5 7 ' 6 gallons daily. The bed of the Thames in London
is estimated approximately at 2245 acres; consequently 4,1 70,000 gallons are raised
from the Thames on an average daily through the year. The quantity evaporated at low
water is, perhaps, much less than this; on the other hand, the evaporation in summer
is more active than in winter; and the proportion of decomposing organic matter in the
water, and on the banks exposed to evaporation, is greater at low than at high water.
Hence, it is probuble that in summer 4 million gallons, or about 18000 tons of wuter,
are raised from the polluted Thames daily and discharged into the atmosphere which is
breathed by the inhabitants of London. It remains to determine how much of the
organic matter in the water is raised with the vapour at different temperatures.
London derives its supply of water for washing, cleansing, cooking, and drinking, to
a small extent from wells; 18 districts have supplies from the ri\er Amwell, and from
the Lea, a tidal tributary of the Thames; two districts from the Ravensbourne ; and
18 districts from the Thames, at five points of its course. The water is generally pumped
by steam-power into water-butts or reservoirs in the houses, at interva's of one, two,
or three days. As the water is of very different degrees of impurity, it will now be right
to state the fatality of cholera in the several water districts of London, arranged under
the companies by which the water is furnished.
Grand Junction Company. — The waters of the Thames at Keio chiefly supply the
sub-districts of Paddinston, Hanover-square, and May Fair, and the greater part of the
district of St. James Westminster. The mortality from cholera was at the rate of 9 in
10000 inhabitants.
West Middlesex Company. — The waters of the Thames at Hammersmith supply
Marylehone and a small part of Hampstead. The mortality from cholera was at the
rate of 17 in roooo inhabitants in Marylebone. In Hampstead the mortality was 8 in
10000.
Chelsea Water Company. — The waters of the Thames at Battersea , much below
Battersea Bridge and below the Chelsea Hospital, supply the Belgrave sub-district of
St. George Hanover-square, and the districts of Chelsea and Westminster. The mor-
tality from cholera was at the mean rate of 47 in 10000 inhabitants; in the Belgrave
sub-district the deaths from cholera were 28, in Chelsea 46, in Westminster 68 in
10000 inhabitants.
Southwark Water Company — The waters of the Thames at Battersea — still lower
down the river — supply the districts of Wandsworth, St. Olave, and Bermondsey. The
mortality from cholera was at the rate of 147 in 10000. In Wandsworth the mortality
was 100, in St. Olave 181, in Bermondsey 161, in 10000.
Lambeth Water Company and Southwark Water Company. — The waters of the
Thames between Waterloo Bridge and the Hungerford Suspension Bridge , supply
parts of the districts of Lambeth, St. Saviour, St. George Southwark, Newington, and
Camberwell; the other parts of these districts being supplied from Battersea by the
Southwark Company. The mortality from cholera was at the rate of 136 in 10000.
In the district of Lambeth the mortality was 120, St. Saviour 153, St. George South-
wark 164, Newington 144, Camberwell 97, in 10000.
Southwark and East Kent Water Companies. — Rotherhithe is supplied with water
partly by the litanies at Battersea and by the Ravensbourne— and partly from ditches
and wells, into some of which the drains and cesspools soak. The mortality from cholera
was at the rate of 205 in 10000 inhabitants.
East London Water Company. — The Lea supplies the districts of Poplar, Stepney,
Bethnal Green, St. George-in-the-East, and Whitechapel with water. The mortality
from cholera was at the rate of 63 in 10000 inhabitants; and 71, 47, 90, 42 and 64 in
each of the 5 districts.
New River H ater Company. — The Amwell and the Lea supply Islington, St. Luke,
Clerkenwell, London City, West London, East London, Ilolborn. St. Giles, the Strand,
St. Martin-in-the-Ficlds. The mwtn mortality from cholera was at the rate of 41 in
Elevation. lxi
ioooo inhabitants ; the mortality was least in Clerkenwell (19), near the head reservoir ;
greatest (96) in West London, on the edge of the Thames.
Kent Water Company. — The waters of the Ravensbourne supply Greenwich, where
the mortality from cholera was 75 in ioooo inhabitants; and parts of Lewisham, where
the cholera was at the rate of 30 in ioooo inhabitants.
Two or more companies supply some districts. The district of St. James Westminster
is supplied by the Kew and the New River waters : the mortality from cholera was 16
in ioooo inhabitants; Kensington is supplied by the West Middlesex, the Chelsea and
the Grand Junction Companies ; -the mortality from cholera was 33 in ioooo. St. Pan-
eras is supplied by the New River, Hampstead, and the West Middlesex Companies;
the mortality from cholera was 22 in ioooo. Shoreditch and Hackney are supplied by
the New River and the East London Companies; the mortality in the two districts from
cholera was 76 and 25 in ioooo.
Arranging-the groups of districts in the order of mortality, it appears that the mor-
tality from cholera was lowest in districts which have their water chiefly from the
Thames so high in its course as Hammersmith and Kew. Upon the other hand, the
mortality was greatest in the districts which derive their water from the Thames so low
down as Battersea and the Hungerford Bridge. The districts of the New River occupy
an intermediate station.
In the 6 districts -which are supplied with water taken from the Thames at Kew and
Hammersmith, 15 in ioooo inhabitants died from cholera; and the mortality ranged
from 8 to 33.
In the 20 districts which are supplied with water from the Amwell, the Lea, and the
Ravensbourne, 48 in ioooo inhabitants died of cholera ; and the mortality ranged from
19 to 96.
In the 12 districts which are supplied with water taken from the Thames between
Battersea and the Waterloo Bridge, 123 in ioooo inhabitants died of cholera; and the
mortality ranged from 28 to 205.
In the second group of districts cholera was three times as fatal; in the third, eight
times as fatal, as it was in the first: 1, 3 and 8, express the relative virulence of the
epidemic in the three conditions. The density of the population was greatest in the
central group, and nearly the same in the first and third group ( u ).
LONDON.— ELEVATION.
The elevation of the soil in London has a more constant relation with the mortality
from cholera than any other known element. The mortality from cholera is in the
inverse ratio of the elevation. The mortality of the 19 highest districts was at the rate
of 33 in ioooo, and of the 19 lowest districts 100 in ioooo. The elevation in the
two groups was as 71 to 10 feet above the high-water mark of the Thames, or as 7 do
1 ; while the mortality was as 1 to 3, or in the inverse ratio. In the two groups of the
6 districts, supplied with the waters of the Thames at Kew and Hammersmith, the

mean elevation was 35 and 175 feet, the mortality from cholera 19 and 11 in 10000.
In the two groups of 12 districts, supplied with the Thames water between the
Battersea and Waterloo Bridges, the mean elevations were \ foot and 10 feet ; the
mortality 168 and 77 in 10000. In the two groups of 20 districts, supplied with
the waters of the New River and the Lea, the mean elevation was 24 and 59-$ feet ; the
mortality from cholera was 59 and 37. While the effects of the water and of the wealth
of the districts are apparent, they do not, in this analysis, conceal the effects of elevation.
Cholera was excessively fatal in all the four districts which lie on a level with, or
below the Trinity high-water mark; it destroyed 144, 161, 164, and 205, in 10000
inhabitants. In the five districts which lie 2 to 4 feet higher, on an average, the mor-
tality from cholera was at the rate of 68, 97, 120, 153, and 181 in 10000. Westminster
experienced the lowest mortality (68) in the 9 low districts, and it is supplied with water
by the Chelsea Company ; while all the other districts are supplied by the Lambeth and
Southwark Companies. In 10 districts, of an elevation of 50 feet and upwards, the mortality
from cholera was at the rate only of 8, 8, 17, 19, 22, 22, 25, 35, 35, and 53. The mor-
tality from cholera was not higherthan 35, except in the district of St. Giles, which is an
exceptional case : its elevation being 68 feet above the Thames, and the mortality from
cholera at the rate of 53 in 10000. It is a mixed district, and contains in near
proximity the British Museum, Bedford Square, Russell Square, and Great Russell
Street, where no death from cholera occurred ; and Church Lane, — a low, damp, dirty
lane, generally covered with decaying vegetables, and filled with a wretched population,
where thirty deaths from cholera happened, in addition to its quota of 109 patients
who from all parts of the district, were sent to, and died from cholera in, the Union
workhouse.*
Notwithstanding the disturbance produced by the operation of other causes, the
mortality from cholera in London bore a certain constant relation to the elevation of the
soil, as is evident when the districts are arranged by groups in the order of their altitude.
We place the districts together which are not on an average 20 feet above the Thames,
and find that on this bottom of the London basin the mortality was at the average rate of
102 in 10000 : in the second group, at 20 and under 40 feet of elevation, or on the second
terrace, the mortality from cholera was at the rate of 65 in 10000 ; in the third group,
or on the third terrace, 40 to 60 feet high, the mortality from cholera was at the rale of
34 in 10000 ; in the fourth group, 60 to 80 feet high, the mortality from cholera was at
the rate of 27 in 10000; in the fifth group, 80 to 100 feet high, the mortality was at
the rate of 22 in 10000 ; in a district 100 feet high, the mortality was 17 in 10000 ;
in Hampstead, about 350 feet high, the mortality was 8, or deducting a stranger in-
fected at Wandsworth, but who died there, 7 in 10000.
By ascending from the bottom to the third terrace, the mortality is reduced from 102
to 34 ; by ascending to the sixth terrace it is reduced to 1 7 (tc). It will be observed, that
the number representing the mortality on the third terrace is one-third of the number
1 02, representing the mortality on the first, and that the mortality on the sixth terrace is
one-sixth part of the mortality on the first. And a series approximating nearly to the

numbers representing the mortality from cholera, is obtained by dividing 102 succes-
sively by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
A comparison of the numbers of this series with the actual mortality experienced in
each district, will serve to indicate roughly as much of the effect as is due to elevation ;
and the deviations from the scale are generally explained by the other elements of the
problem.
The mortality from cholera on the ground under 20 feet high being represented by 1,
the relative mortality in each successive terrace is represented by -J-, i, -L, x, -i; or the
mortality on each successive elevation is -f, £, -§-, &c. of the mortality on the terrace
immediately below it.
The elevation of the five terraces may be represented by 10, 30, 50, 70, 90 feet. The
elevations of the two higher districts are 100, and 350 feet. It will be observed that the
mortality at 100 feet is 17, at 50 feet 34 in 10,000; consequently at half the elevation
the mortality is doubled. The half of 50 feet is 25 feet; and the double of the mor-
tality, 34, is 68. Now observation gives 65 in 10000 as the mortality at 30 feet of eleva-
tion. As the processes of dividing the elevation, and of multiplying the mortality by 2,
may be carried on ad infinitum , it is evident that the mortality is not strictly in the in-
verse ratio of the heights of the soil; otherwise at the elevations 12*5, 6'25, 3*125
feet, the mortality would be 136, 272, 544.
Let e be any elevation within the observed limits o and 350, and c be the average
rate of mortality from cholera at that elevation ; also let e' be any higher elevation, and
c' the mortality at that higher elevation. Then if the mortality from cholera is inversely
as the elevation, we shall have the proportion
e>
c — -
' e
c .
By adding a constant element, a, the velocity at which the mortality increases, par-
ticularly at the lower elevations, can be retarded to any extent. The equation then
1 a
assumes the form (1) . c' = c. The value of a can be most readily obtained
6 d
by taking e' = 90, where the mortality was 22 ; and e = o, where in three districts on
a level with the Thames at high water the mortality was 177 in 10000 on an average.
g c
From Eq. 1 the value of a in general terms is found to be a = — .
Inserting the above numbers, we have
a = 9° X 22 - o X 177 = = i2.8
177—22 • f l x 55
As the series is not perfectly uniform, different values of a are obtained from the for-
mula ; and 1 3 is an intermediate value of a, which has been employed in the construc-
tion of the annexed Table, by making e successively o, 5, 10, 15, . . . no, 150,
200, 250, 300, 350, in the equation —

Upon comparing the numbers of this series with the mean mortality observed in the
districts at eight different elevations, it will be observed that the only considerable discre-
pancy is at the mean elevation (20 — 40) assumed to be 30 feet. The excess of mor-
tality is in Wandsworth, West London, and Bethnal Green.

The houses necessarily raise the people of London above the ground ; and if their
habitat, day and night, is on an average 13 feet above the ground level, it is evident
that the mortality within the limits observed, is in the inverse ratio of the elevations
at which the people live. The causes of the discrepancies in particular districts are
partly explained by differences in the wealth of the people and other causes which may
now be noticed ( y ) ( z ).

the average mortality from cholera was 22 in roooo inhabitants.
The relation discovered between the elevation of the soil, and the mortality from
cholera, is so important that it was thought right after the above calculations were
made to submit the principle to another test, by comparing the elevation and the mor-

(ality from cholera of each sub-district. The population of the sub-districts in 1851
having been enumerated, it became possible to construct the Tables in subsequent pages
(pp. clxvi-ix) ; which, although it makes the mortality on the lowest level less, and is de-
ranged by the deaths in hospitals and workhouses, entirely confirms the announced law.
LONDON.— DENSITY.
Density of population within the limits of the London districts is a less important
element than elevation of soil. For in the table (1) where the districts are arranged
in the order of the mortality from cholera, the density is least on the average in the
1 9 districts where the mortality from cholera is greatest. The wealth of the 19 districts,
represented by the rental of the houses, and the elevation of the sod, here completely
mask the effects of density ; the mortality in the wealthiest and densest distiicts is less
than it should be by the elevation scale (a).
The districts in the same table (1) are thrown into three groups, distinguishing the
sources of water supply ; and there the density is invariably greatest in the groups of
highest mortality from cholera.
Again, in table 3, where the districts are arranged in the order of density, the 19
densest districts had 178 inhabitants to an acre, and the mortality from cholera was at
the rate of 71 in 10000 inhabitants; while in the 19 least dense districts, where the
inhabitants were only 34 to an acre, the mortality was 61 in 10000 inhabitants.
A five-fold increase of density (from 34 to 178) was accompanied by an increase
of one-sixth in the mortality ; which may however be caused by the difference in the
elevation and wealth of the two groups of districts. In the New River districts and
the districts supplied with the waters of the Thames below Battersea the mortality from
cholera is greatest in the densest districts ; but those districts are also the lowest and
the poorest. In all the 6 districts supplied by the water of the Thames, from Kew and
Hammersmith, the mortality from cholera is low ; but the mortality is lowest in the three
densest districts which happen to be only half as wealthy as the rest. The following
table seems to indicate that the mortality from cholera increases to the density of
150 persons to an acre, and then decreases to 250 — 284 to an acre. But it will be
seen that the elevation and wealth interfere with the results, the two latter groups
being much above the average in both respects. The great drains and ditches are also
generally left open until the density of the population becomes considerable ; and this
ought to be taken into account; but we have not yet the means of showing the area of
uncovered drains left in the different parts of London ( b ) p. lxvii.
LONDON.— WEALTH AND POVERTY.
Wealth appears to influence the mortality of cholera. Under the income tax a
return was made of the annual value of houses which serve indirectly to indicate the
wealth of the inhabitants. Shops and some public buildings, returned under this head,
disturb the results; but the division of the value of the homes of a district by their
number, or by the number of inhabitants, shows the relative wealth of the dis-
tricts better than any of the other indirect tests at our disposal. Wealth represents
food, lodging, clothing, cleanliness, medical advice in sickness to a certain extent, as
large masses of people supply themselves with these necessaries in proportion to their
means.

Wealth and Poverty.
If the 19 wealthiest districts are compared with the 19 poorest districts, the mor-
tality from cholera is found to be inversely as the wealth, measured by the value of
house-room (e).
The value of house-room is as 8 ’140 to 3*831 in the two groups, while the cholera
was in the inverse ratio of 43 to 90. In the three groups arranged to show the effect
of water supply, it will also be found that the poorest population suffered most from
cholera as well as from ordinary causes ; but that the influence of wealth on cholera
was greatest in the districts which experienced the fewest deaths in ordinary years, and
were supplied with Thames water from Kew and Hammersmith.
Elevation however interferes considerably with these results. If the 10 districts not
differing greatlv in elevation, but all lying on an average under 10 feet, are arranged in
the order of wealth, this singular result is obtained — that the five poorest districts ex-
perienced the least average loss from cholera. The mortality from cholera in 10000
was 151m the 5 richest, and 122 in the 5 poorest districts.
At the higher elevation of 10 to 50 feet there are 18 districts. The average value of
houses in the 9 wealthiest, and the 9 poorest districts was io’282 l. and 3*7 37 A ; the
mortality from cholera was 47 and 53 in 10000. The rent of house-room was as 3 to
1, and the mortality differed only one-eighth part. The mortality from ordinary causes
differed to nearly the same extent; it was at the rate of 223 and 256 in 10000.
Ten districts are at elevations of 50 feet and upwards ; the average value of house-
room was 7-199/. 'n l'ie 5 richest, and 4-907/. in the 5 poorest districts. The mortality
from cholera in the same districts was 21 and 28 in 10000; greatest therefore in the
poorest districts. The general mortality was at the rate of 227 and 226 in 10000.
Under these circumstances I find it impossible at present to establish any definite
relation between the various degrees of wealth and of the mortality of cholera, further
than that in districts of some elevation wealth does exert a certain influence on the
mortality both of cholera and of ordinary causes.

lxviii Coincident Mortality of Cholera and of other Diseases.
In the annexed Table the districts of different degrees of wealth are classed in order ;
and it will be seen that the differences of mortality maybe in a great measure accounted
for by the column of elevation ( d ).
LONDON.— MORTALITY FROM ORDINARY CAUSES.
The ordinary mortality of the districts of London has been deduced from the returns
of 1838-44 and the Census of 1841. There is a certain relation between the degrees
of mortality from ordinary causes and the mortality from cholera. The mean mortality
of 1 9 districts in which the mortality is the highest from ordinary causes, was at the rate
of 268 in 10000; the mean mortality of the other 19 districts was 212 in 10000. The
mortality from cholera was at the rate of 84 and 48 in the same two groups of districts ;
there was a density of 1 5 5 and 57 persons to an acre ; and the elevation was in the inverse
order of 26 and 55 feet. When the districts supplied with the same water are placed
together in three groups, the general mortality, the mortality from cholera, and the density
of population, are in similar direct ratios; the elevation is in the inverse ratio. There
is a very constant relation between the mortality from ordinary causes and the density of
population. This has been shown before, and is illustrated in the annexed Table. The
value of houses also increases generally with the density; hut it is only within certain
limits ; for the densest are here the poorest districts ( e ).

Why is Cholera Fatal in Low Places ?
lxix
CONDITIONS IN WHICH CHOLERA IS MOST FATAL.
It has been shown in the general analysis of the returns from the whole kingdom,
that cholera has not only been most fatal in the low, and least fatal in the high parts of
the country, hut that the fatality has diminished proportionally as the dwellings of the
population have been raised above the sea level. The epidemic began and was most
fatal in the ports on the coast ; and in ascending the rivers step by step, we saw it grow
less and less fatal. It became probable that a certain relation existed between elevation
and the power of cholera to destroy life. The more exact information which we possess
respecting the London districts establishes this connexion beyond doubt. The relation
may not be expressed by the same figures in other places, or in London at other times,
but it will always be the general rule that the mortality of cholera is inversely as the
elevation of the people assailed above the sea level.
Mere density of population had not the same direct effect of increasing the mortality
in this disease as in others; for in many inland towns, and in high, dense parts of
London, the mortality was slight or inconsiderable. Neither does the mortality from
cholera vary in the London districts in any ratio of the density. Still density and
numbers of people are not to be lost sight of; for the cholera was not fatal to many in-
habitants of thinly peopled, though low and marshy parts; while in such localities it
was very fatal in nearly all towns. The law is, that the mortality in toivns of some-
extent and density is inversely as the elevation.
The wealth of different places differs in amount and distribution. The differences
in wealth and poverty probably have an effect on the mortality. But abstracting the
indirect effect through the seleciion of sites and the supply of water, the great differ-
ences in the wealth of the London districts do not enable us to detect a very marked or
constant influence of this element on the mortality from cholera. In the country at
large there is no reason to believe that the wealth of the iniiabitants increases as we
ascend the high grounds which the cholera left unscathed. The reverse is probably
the fact.
Elevation of the land involves several conditions which have an important effect
on life and health. As we ascend, the pressure of the atmosphere diminishes, the tem-
perature decreases, the fall of water increases, the vegetation varies, and successive
families of plants and animals appear in different zones of elevation. The waters roll
along the surface of the rocks, or filter through them and the porous strata of the earth
to burst out below — the sources of rivers, or of tributaries which carry disintegrated
rocks, with the remains and excretions of vegetables, animals, or men, in every stage of
decomposition. The deposits in stagnant places, and at the estuaries, show the kind
and quantity of mixed matter which the laden rivers carry down and deposit on the
low margins of the sea at the tidal confluences of the fresh and salt waters.
If we take a series of towns on a river it is evident that the refuse matter of the first
town will pass through the second ; of the first and second through the third ; of the first,
second, and third through the fourth ; and so on to the lowest town, which will be
traversed by all the unevaporated and unwasted organic matter that has found its way
into the waters on their way to the ocean. As the transformation of decaying organic
matter into inorganic and innoxious elements is constantly going on, it will be in many
cases completely decomposed in its course. What has been said of the refuse of towns
will apply to the leaves of the forests, and to vegetable remains of all kinds.
As the rivers descend, the fall of their beds often grows less, and the water creeps
sluggishly along, or oozes and meanders through the alluvial soil. The drainage of the
towns is difficult on the low ground, and the impurities lie on the surface, or filter into
the earth. The wells and all the waters are infected. Where the houses are built
on hill sides and elevations, as in London, the sewage of each successive terrace flows
through the terrace below it, and the stream widens, the ground becomes more charged,
every successive step of the descent, until it is completely saturated in the parts lying
below the high-water mark.
The river, the canals, the docks, and the soil of a port may be viewed as a large basin

at varying temperatures; and as the aqueous vapour which is given off ascends, it will
be impregnated with a quantity of the products of the chemical action going on below,
variable in amount, but necessarily greatest in the lowest and foulest parts. The
emanations, mixing with the superincumbent atmosphere, ascend like smoke ; but at
the same time become less and less dense by dilution and by the gradual destructive
decomposition. A glass vessel, perforated by small holes, filled with pure water,
and dipped into a coloured solution, might give a good idea of the atmosphere of such a
town ; the coloured solution flowing down the sides would grow thicker by every
accession of colouring matter, as it descended, and at the same time colour the water
above with a tint deepening in intensity. Or if the river basins of the country were
quite smooth and even, the sides descending rapidly at first and then slowly, the fall
over the whole face of the country of rain flowing in thicker and thicker sheets as it
descended, would present a good image of the phenomena ; but perhaps not so vivid
as the vapour which, when the rain ceased, would arise from the wet and saturated soil
in every degree of density, from the thickest fog round the marshy bottom to the
thinnest mist upon the hills.
From an eminence on summer evenings, when the sun has set, exhalations are often
seen rising at the bottoms of valleys, over rivers, wet meadows, or low streets ; the thickness
of the fog diminishing and disappearing in upper air. The evaporation is most abundant
in the day ; but so long as the temperature of the air is high, it sustains the vapour in
an invisible body, which is, according to common observation, less noxious while
penetrated by sunlight and heat, than when the watery vapour has lost its elasticity,
and floats about surcharged with organic compounds in the chill and darkness of
night.
The amount of organic matter, then, in the atmosphere we breathe, and in the
waters, will differ at different elevations, and the law which regulates its distribu-
tion, will bear some resemblance to the law regulating the mortality from cholera at
the various elevations. It has been seen how rapidly in London the mortality from
cholera diminishes a few feet above the low ground on a level with the Thames, while
several feet of elevation in higher regions produces no sensible effect. The same thing
holds in drainage. The ground on a level with the outlet cannot be drained at all,
while a few feet of elevation make drainage practicable, efficient, and easy. And
the law holds that while a few feet of elevation are so important near the outlet,
they are of little or of no importance on the higher lands of the country. The diagram
at page Ixv represents roughly the facilities of drainage, as well as the mortality from
cholera at the several elevations.*
It is established by observation that cholera is most fatal in the low towns, and in
the low parts of London ; where, from various causes, the greatest quantity of organic
matter is in a state of chemical action ; and it may be admitted that cholera, varying
in intensity with the quantity, is the result of some chanye in the chemical action of
this matter; leaving it open for further inquiry to determine whether, in England,
that change is spontaneous, or the result of ti;e introduction of a zymotic matter from
beyond the seas; whether the poison enters the human frame in air or water, through the
skin, the mucous membrane-;, or the air-cells of the lungs.
If the facts are so, it follows, that cholera will not only be fatal on low ground, but
on high ground, if, from any concurrence of circumstances, the conditions exist there
which are so constantly found in alluvial soils, lying on a level with or below the tidal
waters. Now these conditions did exist in nearly every place severely visited by cholera
on ground much above the sea level; in Salisbury, Merthyr Tv dvil, Bilston, Newcastle-
under-Lyme, and Church-street St. (iiles, London.
The atmospheric pressure and the temperature diminish with the elevation; and
it is easy to conceive that either may exercise considerable influence when the
elevation is considerable. The rarity of the atmosphere, or the perpetual snow on
the Himalaya and the Alps, may be alleged as the causes why the epidemic never

crossed their passes. But the barometric column is depressed little more than i-iothof
an inch for an elevation of ioo feet ; the atmospheric pressure therefore is not i-300th
part less at that elevation in London than it is at the water level. The difference in
mean temperature, produced according to the ordinary computation by that elevation,
dojs not exceed 4-ioths of a degree of Fahrenheit’s thermometer.* Both these changes
of temperature and pressure affect the organization, and they may be greater in summer
than in other seasons ; but when it is found that great and sudden changes of heat and
pressure are borne with impunity, and moreover, that cholera has prevailed at different
latitudes in different seasons, it does not appear probable that here these physical changes
had much effect on the fatality of the disease. Besides this, it has been shown that an
elevation of 10 feet above the water level diminishes the mortality from cholera very
considerably ; while a difference of ten feet at the higher elevation of a hundred feet,
has little effect on the mortality of that disease. The variations of temperature and of
pressure follow laws entirely different, and are too slight at elevations differing only ten
feet to be the direct cause of the great difference in the mortality of cholera.
Certain diseases arise when men are crowded together in close dirty gaols, camps,
or hospitals ; when they inhale morbid exhalations, or are placed in contact with others
labouring under such zymotic diseases as small-pox ; and when they reside in marshy
countries. The explanation of the diffusion of cholera by an organic matter is therefore
consonant with what is known of the etiology of other diseases.
It has been shown already that when the cholera invades a place, it generally ad-
vances slowly at first ; then that great numbers are attacked : and at the same time
that many have ail the symptoms of Asiatic cholera, others have cholera of a milder
type: a class still more numerous have choleraic diarrhoea; and great numbers have
disorder of the bowels, sickness, indigestion, and slight cramps. The stated proportion
of deaths from cholera, out of a given number of cases, varies not only with the
malignity of the form and with the medical treatment, but with the definition of the
disease : some taking as cholera only cases in collapse, others including the mildest forms :
the lighter forms of diarrhoea are seldom noticed in medical registers, and rarely come
under medical observation.
Cholera has rarely been fatal in England to more than 1 in 2 attacked ; and it
may be laid down, that for 1 death, not more than 3 persons were attacked »n the
severer way uj- The deaths from cholera in the last 3 months of 1848, and in the year
1849, were 54398 ; the deaths from the disease in 1849 were 53293 ; which may be
taken to represent the deaths in the two years from the Asiatic type, leaving 1105 as
from the common variety. About 160000 persons then may have been attacked by
cholera in England. The population was about 17,541 ,000 in the middle of 1849; so that
17,381,000 of the population escaped attack. The deaths from diarrhoea in 1849 were
18887 ; 3887 may be set down as the result of common diarrhoea, leaving 15000;
and if there are 100 cases to 1 death, the cases induced by the epidemic must have been
1,500,000. Less than x in 10 of the population were attacked by cholera or diarrhoea.
By the table, p. cxxx, it will be seen that in all England 30 died of cholera, 1 1 of diarrhoea
to 10000 living ; of whom, by the previous estimate, 90 must have sustained an attack of
cholera, and 1100 an attack of diarrhoea. In London, upon the same basis, it may be
estimated that 1886 in 10000 inhabitants had an attack either of diarrhoea or cholera.
In Hull, the district in which the mortality was highest, 24 r died of cholera, 40 of
diarrhoea, in 10000 inhabitants; of whom 4723 must have been attacked either by
cholera or diarrhoea. If an exact return of every shade of the disease could be procured,
it is probable that it would be found over a great part of the country in one form or
other — differing not in nature but in intensity ; never in any place attacking all the

inhabitants, and, as we have seen, leaving few districts without one or more deaths to
mark its presence.
Under any circumstances it is certain that in this, as in other zymotic diseases, great
multitudes of the people who in one way or other take an average dose of the poison
resist its influence : and it may he admitted that the numbers attacked bear some
proportion to the quantity of the specific matter in the air, water, or earth of the place
where they dwell. This specific matter is known only by its effects; but it has been
shown that the deaths from cholera vary in some proportion to the quantity of organic
matter in the state so commonly observed in the low parts of low towns. Our generali-
zation then goes to this extent, that the cause of cholera is some chemical modification
of organic matter; and here is the great practical fact — that although elevation of habi-
tation, with purity of air and privity of water, does not shut out the cause of cholera ,
it reduces its effects to insignificance.
ORIGIN OF THE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC IN THE DELTA OF THE GANGES.
Cholera has prevailed in many parts of the civilized world, and has probably not
spared unexplored regions of whose barbarous inhabitants little or nothing is known.
It appears to have followed everywhere the same general laws; affecting most fatally
the low seaports and the cities near the mouths of rivers, and sparing the inhabitants
of high grounds around the river sources. The physical circumstances of the country
in which cholera first assumed the epidemic form throw great light on the causes of its
mortality in other places. India was at the time covered by an intelligent band of
army medical officers. They were called upon for returns which were made the basis
of official reports, in Bengal by Jameson, a man who like Pringle, kind, Jackson, Blane,
and Martin, had the genius of medical topography ; by Scott in Madras, who drew up a
judicious and able report on the ravages of the disease in that presidency; by Steuard
and Phillips in Bombay. Annesley, Kennedy, and Orton have described and analyzed
the disease; Martin has written a medical topography of the country; so that the
information respecting the origin is more complete in respect to this than to any other
great epidemic.
The Indian epidemic began in the Delta of the Ganges. Mr. Orton thus sums
up the evidence of the Reports : — “ The epidemic had not one but various local
sources in the level and alluvial, the marshy and jungly tract of country which forms
the Delta of the Ganges, and extends fjom thence to the Burrampooter. For here we find
it as early as June, and the beginning of July, 1817, noticed as prevailing to a serious
extent in Nuddea, a province which is stated to he notorious for the disease in its
endemic form, and in Dacca.”* “ Jessore, the place in which the disorder first put
on a very malignant form, is,” says Jameson, “ a crowded, dirty, ill-ventilated town,
surrounded by a thick jungle, and in the rains by an immense quantity of stagnant
water. * * In Sylhet the influence of situation was perhaps more remarkable than in
any other quarter. * * It appeared that the villages in which it raged most extensively
were considered by the natives as comparatively unhealthy and obnoxious to fevers of
the intermittent type ; being exposed to the effluvia arising from marshes and extensive
lakes, in which the Zila abounds, particularly towards the south-west division, where
the greatest number of victims fell. The Sepoy lines, on the contrary, being placed
from sixty to a hundred feet above the general level of the country, had scarcely any
eases excepting such as occurred in persons on guard at the different outports.
“ In Calcutta, again, the disease was, from first to last, most prevalent in the lower
parts of the town and suburbs, as the Bura Bazar, Simeleia, Dyahutta, and Suwah
Bazar; and in the suburbs, the villages of Khidderpore, Bhuwanipore, Manicktolla,
Kurrya, Entally, Chitpore, and Sealdah.
“ These dependencies are everywhere intersected by pools, broad ditches, and channels,
which, being imperfectly drained, are in the rainy season always full of stagnant water
and rank weeds.
• Orton on the Epidemic Cholera, 2nd edition, p. 329.

Theories and Analogies.
“ From this plentiful source of corruption, foul air is constantly given forth ; and as
all ventilation is obstructed by large groves of trees and vegetation of every description,
it is there concentrated until it becomes entirely unfit for the purposes of respiration.
“ The miserable condition of the generality of the inhabitants of these villages is
hardly to be imagined. Each hamlet is made up of many mud or straw huts, generally
from six to twelve feet square, placed so close to each other as to leave scarcely
room to pass between. In every one of these wretched hovels a whole family, some-
times consisting of six or eight persons, resides ; and not unfrequently cows, pigs, and
other domestic animals add to the filth and foul atmosphere in which they abound.
The singularity is not that persons so situated should be more than others subject to
the influence of a prevailing epidemic, but that they should ever be free from maladies
of this description.
“The higher classes of natives, and Europeans generally, inhabiting the better raised
and more airy parts of the town, suffered proportionably less than the lower ranks.”* * * §
Such was the condition of a large part of the dense population in the birthplace
of cholera. The returns of the mortality among the natives are very imperfect ;
but they show that while many thousands perished in Calcutta and the districts on the
Ganges as far as Allahabad, the casualties higher up the river were “ comparatively
fewer: in Agra the deaths did not exceed io daily, although the town contained 30000
people. Not 500 in all died in Muttra; and about a like number died in the immense
city of Delhi.”f
Mr. Jameson and Mr. Scott give other examples of towms and camps on low grounds
suffering severely, and of elevated spots escaping with little loss ; they also cite, excep-
tionally, instances of camps and cities on high ground suffering attacks of great
severity, or of high places escaping for a time and being assailed in after years. The
early Indian returns of mortality were imperfect and often incorrect : the relative eleva-
tion is rarely stated ; it is impossible therefore to determine how far the law deduced
from the English returns regulates the Indian observations. The general result is
summed up by Mr. Jameson in words as precise as the observations justified : —
“ There is abundant proof that in high , dry , and generally salubrious spots, it was
both less frequent in its appearance and less general and jatal in its attacks than in
those that were loiv and manifestly unwholesome.” \
THEORIES AND ANALOGIES.
A cholera, which, in all its leading symptoms, is the same as the epidemic disease,
has existed from time immemorial in Europe and Asia. Cases are related in the earliest
medical writings, and occur sporadically every year in England. The disease in the
epidemic is a variety, well characterised by the duration of the fatal cases. We
call the one variety Summer cholera, the other Asiatic cholera, merely to give them
distinctive names. Wiih the facts before us will any theory account for the pheno-
mena? What is the cause of Summer cholera? What is the cause of the Asiatic
cholera? Why does cholera in one year destroy only a few lives and occur sporadi-
cally, in other years spread successively over the whole world, and destroy a million or
more of the inhabitants in a short space of time? In what way is the malady pro-
pagated ?
This pestilence like others has been ascribed to great phenomena in the heavens and
the earth, which shake the minds of men, and have sometimes happened at the same
epochs, or a few years before or after the ravages. Comets, eclipses, meteors, earth-
quakes, “ violent commotions in the earth’s organism, ”§ besides exciting strong allied
emotions, have some points of analogy with pestilence in their going and coming. A

Volcanic Action.
comet as it approaches the earth’s orbit, flames through the firmament, recedes, and
disappears, serves to illustrate as well as a diagram, the rise and decline of an
epidemic ; but no theorist has ever proved that there is any constant connexion between
comets and plagues, much less that there is any coincidence in the succession of their
phenomena.
The theory of volcanic agency has been ingeniously advocated by a recent writer
who has closely studied cholera and other epidemics.* He discovers five points in which
the phenomena of volcanoes and o! pestilences agree, and thus summarily lays them
down as laws: — I. The effects of volcanic and pestilential action are felt along parti-
cular lines of the earth's surface. 2. There is regularity in their progress both chrono-
logically and geographically. 3. The effects of subterranean agency are lesson secondary
than on tertiary strata, while they are seldom witnessed on primary formations. 4. They
are always natch greater and more perceptible near the sea, and oiher collections of
waters, as lakes, rivers, [springs ?j. 5. And, finally, the phenomena of volcanic erup-
tions and pestilence have, in common, a limited duration, periodical returns, and total
cessation in the particular locality after certain definite periods. The theory assumes
that the pestilence is caused by “ poisonous elements generated in subterraneous reser-
voirs, and diffused in the surrounding atmosphere. ’’I The work of Mr. Parkin must
be consulted for the discussion of all the facts which support the theory. The gases and
ashes which escape front volcanoes have been analyzed, but the “ poisonous element ”
has not been identified or detected in places suffering from cholera. Cholera is appa-
rently not more fatal in the immediate neighbourhood of volcanoes thau it is elsewhere,
and its successive outbreaks in the district* of England have not, in 1832 or 1849,
been preceded, accompanied, or followed by any earthquake or visible volcanic phe-
nomena.
Tempests, thunder-storms, showers of rain, the formation o^ clouds, evaporation, and
combustion, present many analogies with the pestilential outbreak. The gentle wind
quickens into a violent tornado, traverses lines of country, prostrates everything in its
course, and then quietly dies away like cholera, to reappear again at intervals and in
other places. The cloud, no bigger than a man’s hand, lies quietly on the sky, spreads,
covers the heavens; a few drops of rain fall, the lightning flashes, the thunders roll, the
waters descend in sheets on the earth; then the tempest subsides and the atmosphere is
more tranquil than it was before, just as the phenomena succeed each other in tin
epidemic. In combustion the fire smoulders for a time, until the whole mass is heated ;
then chemical action is accelerated; the flame bursts out, intense heat is evolved, and the
fire subsides when the combustible material is consumed. Blights and the sudden
development of infusorial and cryptogamic life present so many analogies with
epidemics in the r effects on the vegetable kingdom, their diffusion, and their course,
that they have been by some regarded as the causes of pestilence. i The growth of
grasses also presents a parallel. The cholera in England kept pace in its development
with the wheat plant, which took root in October, germinated in the winter, flowered
in June, filled in July and August, was cut down by the reaper before the lir*t week in
September when cholera was most rife, and would have been dead ripe in October
and November when cholera ceased. Many striking processes of the inorganic as
well as of the organic kingdom, present series of developments which have analogies
with, hut are trot causes of pestilential phenomena. The theorist, however speculative

Fellow of the ltoyal Academy of Madiid, &c. &c., 1845. -'If- Parkin's life presents a rare example of
courage and zeal. “ Having,” he says, “ followed the epidemic cholera for some years, and having
paid frequent and oft-repeated visits to districts in which malaria abounds, it has generally happened,
after I have been residing for any time in other and more healthy localities, that 1 was, on my arrival in
an infected district, attacked with the prevailing complaint, no matter whether it was epidemic "or
endemic; that is to say, the cholera, fever, or dysentery,” p. 22. Mr. Parkin was in Loudon in 1849, and
went to Jamaica on the outbreak of the epidemic there. He is a sanguine advocate of the treatment by
carbonic acid gas.

in liis Medical Notes.
Heat, Electricity, Ozone. lxxv
he is, may. by tracing these analogies, often open the way to a happy generalization,
which admits of practical applications, and is the explanation of the facts.
Heat has a great influence on the intensity of the epidemic cholera, which began on
the verge of the torrid zone, and in the temperate zone has been unquestionably most
fatal in the hot season of the year : there is, however, no constant relation between a
high temperature and this variety of cholera: it does not prevail so frequently in other
hot climates as it does in the East Indies, and it has in some places raged with the
greatest violence in winter, where, however, as in St. Petersburgh, the dwellings are
always heated artificially. As eacli place at different latitudes has its harvest season so
it appears to have its pestilential season.
The hypothesis that Electricity is the cause of cholera has been advanced by recent
writers of ability. Mr. Orton has summed up all the facts and arguments in its
favour.* He suggests rather than asserts that a “ deficiency of electricity,” or a
negative, instead of the more common positive electricity of the at mosphere, is the
“ primary remote cause ” of the epidemic. Mr. Orton, with the candour that marks
bis writings, adds, that if the condition in question “ is absent in a single instance of a
general attack, the theory must fall to the ground.” Many examples of thunder-
storms, and of great electrical disturbances, have been noted in the epidemic years.
Similar disturbances happen in other yeais, and neither Mr. Orton nor any other
writer has succeeded in showing, from observations with the electrometer, that there is
any invariable relation between the progress of electrical phenomena and epidemic out-
breaks of cholera. No importance can be attached to the stories of the inaction of the
electrical machines of certain philosophers, any more than to the isolated observation of
Dr. Prout's barometer in 1832.
Schonbein, the Professor of Chemistry at Basle, has given a new turn to the elec-
trical theory. His experiments and the investigations of De la Bive, Marignac, Ber-
zelius, Erdmann, and Marchand, prove that pure or atmospheric oxygen, on being-
expose 1 to the action of electrical sparks, is transformed into an odoriferous matter,
which he calls ozone ; declared by them to be nothing but an allotropic modification of
oxygen. The results of his recent researches incline him to adopt their view, although
he had previously considered it to be a peroxide of hydrogen. Be this as it may, ozone
is found to be one of the most powerful oxidizing agents yet known. It transforms, in
the cold, silver into the peroxide of that metal ; instantly decomposes sulphuretted or
phosphoretted hydrogen, and acts upon almost all organic substances. He found that
one dose of ozone would disinfect or destroy the smell of 3,240,000 volumes of
atmospheric air saturated with the miasms of putrid flesh. Ozone, in variable quantities,
is incessantly formed bv electrical discharges continually going on in the atmosphere,
and Schonbein’s observations show that its quantity varies in different places, and at the
same place at different times. The. miasmatic matters thrown into the atmosphere
by the infinite number of plants and animals hourly dying in the earth, water,
and air, are, he is disposed to believe, decomposed by ozone, which is simultaneously
destroyed.
Ozone, like chlorine, irritates the lungs, and produced in Schonbein “ a painful
affection of the chest, a sort of asthma, with a violent cough,” which forced him for a
time to discontinue his investigations. Ou comparing his ozonometric observations
with the lists of the catarrhal patient's of several physicians of Basle, they were struck
by the coincidence between the unusual number of catarrhs and his “ blue days,” or
days in which ozone existed in excess in the atmosphere. Schonbein does not think
the question of causation decided, but strongly recommends ozonometric observations.!
Instead of adopting this suggestion, and in the absence of observation, it was argued
by some, when cholera was epidemic in 1849, that an excess of ozone was the cause
of influenza, and that a deficiency of ozone was the cause of cholera!

Bad Water.
That ozone exists in the atmosphere and destroys some miasms is probable ; but the
hypothesis itself assumes that a cholera matter exists independently of ozone, by which
it is supposed to be destroyed.
Schonbein, by experiments on the Jura Mountains, ascertained that at 12-1800 feet
above the level of Basle, his ozonometers exhibited higher degrees than they did at
the same time in Basle ; whence he infers that the higher contain less miasmatic matter
than the lower regions of the atmosphere.
Jameson, in the last page of the Supplement to his admirable “Report on Cholera in
Bengal,” after noticing that some of the natives placed “great faith in boiled water as a
preventive,” and that one of the principal native gentlemen of Calcutta ascribed the
“ singular healthiness of his numerous household to his having taken the simple pre-
caution of allowing no water to he drank by them until it had been previously boiled,”
adds: “ Bad water no doubt sometimes immediately induces the disorder; but we
must not suppose it is the sole cause of it.”* * * § This is borne out by some observations
in the Indian Reports; where, however, the sources of the water supply are too seldom
referred to, although a popular belief prevails in many countries of India that it is the
water which produces ague and remittent fever. f Dr. Barnes, who had medical charge
of the district of Jessore in Bengal from i8ioto 1822, but who was absent in part of the
years 1816 and 1817 when the disease assumed the epidemic character, stated in 1831,
that he had there been intimately acquainted with the disease as an endemic. He had
considered it from the first as a disease peculiar to that country and previously unknown,
which had superseded the periodical remittent fever formerly so prevalent. If the
annual storms of violent thunder, lightning, wind, and rain commenced early in March,
and recurred at short intervals until the rainy season began, the hot season (April, May,
June) was, he says, comparatively healthy, and conversely : if the rains broke up at the
ei.d of August, and the waters sank rapidly during September, the cholera commenced
its attack at the beginning of October, carrying death and, desolation among the inha-
bitants until the midfile of December, when the disease in a short time became apparently
extinct. Instead of the usual rainy and dry season, scarcely a week of 1816, in Jessore,
was without rain; the^sun was constantly obscured; the atmosphere close, heavy,
moist ; the thermometer from March to November, ranging between 70 and 95 .
The crowded ill-ventilated native huts are on mounds surrounded with pits, which are
the receptacles of stagnant water, and of every kind of filth. Dr. Barnes asserts unhesi-
tatingly that in these circumstances the Asiatic epidemic was generated from the ex-
halations arising from the decomposition of animal and vegetable mutter and the use of
water in which this process was continually going on. “ These,” he emphatically
declares, “ were the sole cause of this disease.’ %
“ In the autumn of. 1849, Dr. Brittain and Dr. Swayne, of Bristol, considered that
they had discovered the cause of cholera in a minute fungus; and Dr. W. Budd, of the
same city, met with the supposed fungus in various specimens of water used as drink,
in places where the cholera was very prevalent. Ӥ Upon further investigation the
supposed fungi were, by experienced microscopists, pronounced to be other matters ; and
after the able Report of the Committee of the London College of Physicians, the hypo-
thesis was genet ally abandoned.
Dr. Snow, in a paper dated Aug. 29, 1849, advanced a theory of the pathology of
cholera; and it is in many respects the most important theory that has yet been pro-
pounded. Dr. Snow, after endeavouring in a subsequent paper to show that the disease
is propagated by human intercourse, and that it is a local affection of the alimentary
canal, thus states his doctrine: —
“ The induction from these data is that the disease must be caused by something

which passes from the mucous membrane of the alimentary canal of one patient to
that of the other, which it can only do by being swallowed; and as the disease grows
in a community by what it feeds upon, attacking a few people in a town first, and then
becoming more prevalent, it is clear that the cholera poison must multiply itself by a
kind of growth, changing surrounding materials to its own nature like any other
morbid poison; this increase is the cause of the materies morbi of cholera taking place
in the alimentary canal.
“ The instances in which minute quantities of the ejections and dejections of cholera
patients must be swallowed are sufficiently numerous to account for the spread of the.
disease ; and on examination it is found to spread most where the facilities for this
mode of communication are greatest. Nothing has been found to favour the extension
of cholera more than want of personal cleanliness, whether arising from habit or
scarcity of water, although the circumstance hitherto remained unexplained. The bed-
linen nearly always becomes wetted by the cholera evacuations, and as these are devoid
of the usual colour and odour, the hands of persons waiting on the patient become
soiled, and unless these persons are scrupulously cleanly in their habits, and wash their
hands upon taking food, they must accidentally swallow some of the excretion, and leave
some on the food they handle or prepare, which has to be eaten by the rest of the
family, who, amongst the working classes, often have to take their meals in the sick
room. Hence the thousands of instances in which, amongst this class of the popula-
tion, a case of cholera in one member of the family is followed by other cases: whilst
medical men and others who merely visit the patients, generally escape.
“ With only the means of communication which we have been considering, the
cholera would be constrained to confine itself chiefly to poor and crowded dwellings, and
would be continually liable to die out accidentally in a place, for want of the oppor
tunity to reach fresh victims ; but there is often a way open for it to extend itself more
widely, and that is by the mixture of the cholera evacuations with the water used for
drinking and culinary purposes, either by permeating the ground and getting into wells,
or by running along channels and sewers into the rivers.”*
Dr. Lloyd, on August 30, 1849, at a meeting of the South London Medical Society,
adduced instances of the great mortality from cholera, of people living in Silver-street
and Charlotte-place, Rotherhithe, who got their water from a well and a ditch into
which the privies discharged their contents. The disease was much more fatal in the
parts of Rotherhithe where ditch-water was used, than it was in places which had their
supply from the water-works. Dr. Snow has collected examples in the South London
districts, where the water being derived from deep wells, few cases of cholera occurred ;
and other instances of a great fatality among people living in houses, such as those in
Wandsworth-road, where the contents of the water-closets found their way into the water.
He shows, from a communication by Dr. Shapter, that in 1832 Exeter was supplied
with water taken from the streams of the Exe, into which the sewers emptied them-
selves ; and that subsequently water- works were established on the river, two miles
above the town, and more than twro miles above the tidal range. In three months of
1832 cholera destroyed 347 lives in Exeter; in 1849 it was only fatal to 44 persons,
many of them strangers, who died within three days of their arrival. An opposite
instance is afforded by Hull, which in 1832 was scantily supplied with water from
springs at Anlabv, three miles distant. About seven years since water-works were
established on the river Hull, two miles and three-quarters above its confluence with
the Humber, and afford the town a plentiful supply. But half the sewage of the town is
delivered into the waters of the river Hull, halt into the Humber; the tide flows up the
river many miles past the water-works, and carries with it the contaminated liquids of
the sewers. In 1832 the cholera was confined almost enclusively to the poor, and the
deaths amounted to about 300 ; in 1849 the deaths were 1178, and occurred among all
classes of persons. f Negative and positive instances in other towns are cited by Dr.

lxxviii The Unclean Water of London and Paris.
Snow; and in their Reports to the Board of Health by Dr. Sutherland and Mr.
Grainger.
Dr. Snow’s theory of the propagation of Asiatic cholera in London is very simple.
The cholera matter was brought to London by patients from Hamburgh ; it was
multiplied in the intestines of infected people until the disease spread in this way all
over the metropolis. It necessarily implies that the rice-water discharges of the
cholera patients may, under the present system of water supply, be distributed
unchanged to nearly every house in London, where water is used for drink, ablu-
tion, and washing. Dr. Snow is unfortunately able to show that this e.vcremental
distribution — almost too revolting and disgusting to write or read — is possible to a very
considerable extent.* * * § The sewers of London run into the Thames and the Lea, from
which a part of the water supply is derived. The water, which the inhabitants ot
London have but the repulsive alternative to discuss in words or to use in fact, is however
baled from the ditches only by the wretched inhabitants of such parts as Jacob’s Island.
It is in one case before distribution pumped up to a distant reservoir at Brixton ; in other
cases it is taken higher up the rivers, largely diluted, or beyond the reach of any but casual
contamination ; filtration is employed ; chemical action, as the chemists on behalf of
their wealthy clients tell us, is incessantly going on, and converting impurities into
simple elements; so that it is only in some places, or in rare circumstances, that the
organic waste can reach and injure the people. Still, in this mitigated form, the risk is
too tremendous to be incurred by two millions and a half of the people, who require
and can obtain an abundance of sweet water.
The supply of Paris is from various sources, hut four-fifths of the water is from the
Canal de l’Ourque, which, by the decision of Napoleon, was also appropriated to
navigation. The water for some years, and in 1832 when the first epidemic was so
fatal, was drawn from the duty basin in which the boats and barges of the canals
rested ; but is now drawn from the canal before it enters the basin. The water in the
Regent’s Canal round London, and in the Cumberland Basin, Regent’s Park, present a
pretty faithful image of the waters of the Canal de l’Ourque, which flow from the foun-
tains, and supply the wants of the Parisians. The water in the Cumberland Basin is
described by l)r. Milroy as “in a most offensive state, and, indeed, no better than that
of a stagnant putrid ditch ;” and a great deal of choleraic disease prevailed among the
men who were employed in the barges, and most of the families living in the houses on
the wharves were more or less affected. ”f The mortality of cholera in Paris was excessive,
and in 1832 varied from 80 of xOOOO inhabitants in the elegant Chaussee d’Antin and
in Montmartre on the heights, to 530 and 520 in the low Quartiers of the Hotel de Ville
and the Cite.J The experience of Paris, then, as well as of many of our own towns,
lends some countenance to Dr. Snow’s theory.
The general argument in favour of the propagation of cholera by infection has been
forcibly stated by Dr. Bryson, who brings facts from the experience of the navy to show
that the existing virus may take effect at the distance of one or two miles, if not further;
and, in contact with inanimate substances, may be conveyed to the distance of many
hundred miles, provided the transit be accomplished within the space of about ten
days.§ Dr. Bryson admits that the question of quarantine is surrounded wiih practical
difficulties, as instances of cholera occurred in several ships of tire Mediterranean
squadron before they had any communication with the shore where the disease was
prevailing. Indeed, on the hypothesis of infection, which assumes that “ an atmosphere
charged with the specific virus emanating from a population labouring under cholera
and choleraic diarrhoea may prove effective at the distance of several miles from an
infected locality;” or on the hypothesis of diffusion by water up the tidal streams, it is
difficult to understand how the ordinary quarantine can at all exclude the epidemic.

Contagion : Spontaneous Development.
lxxix
Nothing but the absolute cessation of all intercourse between this island and the rest of
the world could be effectual.
Instances are cited by writers on contagion of medical officers in attendance on cholera
patients, suffering or escaping attacks of the disease; but they are seldom conclusive.
In London, for example, one hospital physician and one hospital surgeon died of the
disease : the mortality was consequently higher in this class than it was in the rest of
the inhabitants of London. The two medical officers resided on the north side of the
Thames; but the two hospitals, Guy’s and St. Thomas’s, are in two of the lowest and
most fatal districts on the south side of the river, and cholera patients were not
apparently admitted at Guy’s hospital, although they were treated at St. Thomas’s. The
disease was not fatal on the higher ground, north of the Thames, to any of the medical
officers of the hospitals where cholera patients were freely admitted. Whether any of
them suffered from premonitory symptoms is unknown ; yet this is an element to be
taken into account ; for it maybe assumed that in medical men the disease is more
frequently checked in the early stage, when it is amenable to treatment, than it is in
the rest of the community.
The fact that the first cases of the epidemic appear in the sea-ports is not in itself a
decisive proof of the importation of the disease ; for if it is ever indigenous, as it was on
the Delta of the Ganges, it will almost certainly break out in such low places and cir-
cumstances as are found in the neighbourhood of nearly all sea-ports.
The hypothesis of spontaneous development in England has been advanced, and may
be supported by arguments of some weight. Thus there can be no doubt that the
epidemic cholera is closely allied in all its essential symptoms to sporadic cholera, and
the conversion of the one variety into the other in England is not a priori impossible.
The march of cholera and diarrhoea since 1838 presents the appearance of a progres-
sive development. The deaths from cholera in England were 331 in 1838, 702 in
1840, and 1620 in 1842 ; from diarrhoea 2482 in 1838, 3469 in 1840, and 5241 in
1842. These diseases became much more serious in 1846, and raised the general
mortality. In London the deaths in 1839, 1840, 1842, 1846, 1848, 1849, were 3 6,
6q, 118, 228, 652, 14137 from cholera; 376, 452, 7C4, 2152, 1913, 3899 from
diarrhoea. The seasons of the year, and the circumstances of the people presented
great variations in the twelve years, but on the whole they favoured epidemic develop-
ment. The price of wheat rose rapidly from 39 s. a quarter in 1835, to 71s. in 1839,
and then declined to 57 s. in 1842. The potato crop failed partially in 1845, in 1846
the failure was general, and the country in 1847 besides commercial distress, suffered
some of the consequences of famine. The potato is antiscorbutic, and could not be
replaced by other food of a different quality. Scurvy prevailed in many parts of the
kingdom; influenza broke out as an epidemic at the close of 1847; the cholera
eruption followed at an interval of a year. The spontaneous eruption of cholera has
its analogue in the other zymotic diseases : thus small-pox, scarlatina, and typhus are
five or ten times as fatal at some times as they are at others in districts of London.
An isolated, local epidemic of cholera which broke out in the Coventry workhouse,
appears to show that the spontaneous evolution of epidemic cholera is possible in
England. The following account has been drawn up exclusively from the Registra-
tion Returns, which did not in 1838 contain any statement of the duration of the fatal
diseases. The season of the year, however, as well as the fatality of the disease, prove
that the cholera had not the common character.
The House of Industry at Coventry suffered in the beginning of 1838 a sudden ancl
severe outbreak of cholera, when 55 of the inmates, 27 males and 28 females, perished
by the epidemic. The first death occurred on the 7th of January, and on that and the
four following days, seven cases were fatal; from the 12th to the 16th inclusive, 4
persons died; between the 17th and 21st, 15 ; between the 22nd and 26th, 20; be-
tween the 27th and 31st, 7 ; and on the first three days of February, 2. 18 of the fatal
cases occurred under 40 years of age, and 8 between that and 60; but the greatest
mortality was between 60 and 80 years, when 20 patients sunk under the epidemic ; the
remaining 9 died at upwards of 80 years. Fortunately the disease was confined to
the house, and did not extend its visit to the town.

Zymotic Theory.
While the facts prove that the population was undergoing a morbid change, which
may have issued in a great epidemic, it seems more consonant with the whole history of
the disease to admit that while the materials were smouldering in England the flame
which threw the mass into combustion was of Asiatic origin.
It is not necessary to discuss the zymotic theory here, but I give in a note the substance
of a paper on the subject which appeared in the Appendix to the Registrar-General’s Fourth
Report. As there restricted, it only expresses certain facts in the history of diseases,
and of cholera among the rest, which are shown to be analogous to other facts with
which chemistry is conversant.
It may, I think, be admitted that the disease Asiatic cholera is induced in man by
a certain specific matter, and as it has been proposed to call the matter varioline which
causes small-pox, so cholerine may designate the zymotic principle of cholera. A
variety of that matter was produced in India in certain unfavourable circumstances ; it
had the property of propagating and multiplying itself in air, or water, or food, and of
destroying men, by producing in successive attacks the series of phenomena which con-
stitute Asiatic cholera.
That cholerine is an organic matter, cannot, I think, be doubted by those avho have
studied the whole of its phenomena and the general laws of zymotic disease. The
great questions remain — Is cholerine produced in the human organization alone and
propagated by excreted matter? Is it produced and propagated in dead animal or vege-
table matter or mixed infusions of excreta and other matter out of the body ? Is it
propagated through water? through air? through contact? or through all these
channels?
Observations sufficiently exact to decide these questions definitively have yet to be
made, and discussed on the principles of probability. The decisive facts cannot be
investigated by experiments in which human life may be exposed to risk. They must
be carefully looked for and noted by good observers. Conflicting theories serve, among
other purposes, to direct the attention of observers to important points which they may
otherwise neglect.
While fully admitting the importance of theories, I have endeavoured to present, from
the Returns, a view of the facts, without reference to any theory; and to show, inde-
pendently of the theories, that the conditions in which cholera is or is not fatal, may
be determined, and yield important practical deductions.
Note. — The zymotic hypothesis, which is strictly applicable to all the known phenomena of cholera, is
thus stated in the Appendix to the Fourth Annual Report, 8vo, of the Registrar-General, pp. 199 — 105.
“ Miasm, properly so called, causes disease without being itself reproduced. * * * Carbonic acid
and sulphuretted hydrogen, which are frequently evolved from the earth in cellars, mines, wells, sewers,
and other places, are amongst the most pernicious miasms,’’ (Liebiy). Miasms produce diseases like
ague, without being propagated by contagion ; and the poisons — carbonic acid, sulphuretted hydrogen,
and other gases, which are given off by organic matter in putrefaction, afford an illustration of their
action. The miasm which excites intermittent fever may be designated py retine ; and if it were not
probable that modifications of the marsh miasm induce, in certain circumstances, remittent and yellow
fever, specific names should be found for their principles. Rheumatic fever is apparently caused by a
miasm.* Its changes of scat can scarcely be accounted for on the hypothesis that it is a local inflamma-
tion of the fibrous tissue.
Certain matters which have not yet been analyzed produce small-pox, glanders, hydrophobia, syphilis,
measles, scarlatina, and other diseases ; and as it was before proposed to give names to the well-defined
diseases produced by poisons, so, for the purposes of reasoning, it will be equally useful to name these specific
matters or transformations of matter by which diseases are propagated either by inoculation and contact
(contagion), or by inhalation (infection). The following list exhibits the popular and scientific names of
diseases in juxtaposition with the pioposed names of their exciters ; and it may be assumed hypothetically,
that in the blood corresponding bodies exist which are destroyed, and by the transformation of which the
exciters are generated or reproduced. The names in the second column terminate in a, except a few in s.
Lyssa (from \ueea., rabies), the old Greek term, has been lestored by Mason Good; I propose, for the
sake of uniformity, to call puerperal fever mctria ; mumps, parotid, reserving parotitis for simple inflam-
mation of the parot ids ; croup, truclteia ; and the disease from puncture in dissection, necusia («*»;,
the dead body).
• The exciting cause of intermittent fevers, rheumatism, anil [rheumatic] neumljjia, is generally admitted (?1 to be
malaria; and if viewed abstractedly, and with reference to their spccillc nature, it it probable that malaria it the on/y

The existence of gangrenine, ergotine, ophthalmine, tetanine, miliarine, diphtherine, parotine, nphthine,
tracheine, may also be admitted. It is maintained by some pathologists, that the same specific poison
produces several of these diseases — erysipelas, necusia, and metria, for instance — but while the diseases
are described as distinct, it will be most convenient to consider their exciters as distinct, although they
may be convertible into each other, and be as nearly related as varioline and vaccinine.
The chemical composition of these principles is at present unknown ; but as salts are distinguished from
each other by their relations to other bodies, and, though they may have the same appearance in solution,
are found to differ by the compounds which they form with other bodies in solution, so the existence is
demonstrated by the effect, of the matter here called “ lyssine ,” on animals, although it cannot be detected
by the rough analysis of artificial chemistry. The smallest quantity imaginable of lyssine inserted under
the skin of a dog produces hydrophobia ; and the bites of the infected dog will throw other dogs, and even
human beings, into a state similar to that of the dog from which the charge of lyssine originally came.
Varioline in the same manner produces small-pox, if the patient has not previously undergone its
influence or the influence of vaccinine — a modification of varioline. The diseases of this class have
been frequently spoken of as fermentations ; and Liebig has now opened the way to the explanation of
their nature by a reference to the phenomena attending the transformations of organic compounds, excited
by the action of other compounds simultaneously undergoing analogous transformations. Thus yeast,
which is gluten in a state of transformation, added to wort, which contains gluten and sugar, converts the
gluten of the wort into yeast, and at the same time the sugar into alcohol and carbonic acid, the two
transformations going on together, and the latter ceasing when the former ends. The yeast reproduces
yeast, if gluten, from which it was originally derived, be present : and if the temperature and circum-
stances be favourable, fermentation may be spontaneous.*
It must be admitted, with respect to all the forms of these diseases, that the body, in the cycle of
external circumstances through which it passes, may run into them spontaneously (in this they differ from
the class of diseases referred to external causes), for it is impossible to trace them invariably to infectious
sources ; it is not a priori more improbable that they, than other diseases, should arise spontaneously,
and it is impossible to account for their existence in the world upon any other principle than that of
spontaneous origin. Still the property of communicating their action, and affecting analogous transfor-
mations in other bodies, is as important as it is characteristic in these diseases, which it is proposed
therefore to call in this sense zymotic.f A single word, such as Zymotics, is required to replace in com-
position the long periphrasis “ epidemic, endemic, and contagious diseases;” with a new name and a
definition of the kind of pathological process, which the name is intended to indicate, persons who have
not made themselves acquainted with the researches of modern chemistry can scarcely fall into the gross
error of considering this peculiar kind of diseased action and vinous fermentation absolutely identical ;
or of considering that others entertain that opinion. Liebig draws a distinction between fermentation and
putrefaction: t lie reasons are more urgent, for distinguishing the pathological transformations from fer-
mentation or putrefaction, while it is admitted that they are of a chemical nature, and analogous to
fermentation ; by which they are moreover to a certain extent explained, although so little is known of the
series of chemical changes and products in any single zymotic malady, or of the chemical reactions of
the living forces and organs. Small-pox is by hypothesis the transformation of varioline, and certain
unknown concomitant chemical changes in the blood and skin; manifesting the important symptoms
which fall under direct observation.
Some of the morbific principles are fixed ; others are volatile ; but the greater part of them are fixed and
volatile in different circumstances. Necusine, pestine, syphiline, lyssine, equinine, and vaccinine, are

verb from which it is derived, occur in Hippocrates. See a good note and quotation from Galen, by Foesius, in the
< Economia Hippucratis, appended to the Geneva edition (1602) of the works of Hippocrates. Coction appears to have been
used by the father of medicine with the same qualification as ebullition and fermentation by Sydenham. See his Treatise
on Ancient Medicine, vol. i. CEuvres Completes d’Hippocrate, par E. Littre, 1839.

Zyviotics.
the most frequently fixed ; they give rise, when placed on the skin, particularly where the epidermis is
removed, to their peculiar diseases ; but contagion is not invariably the result of their contact ; indeed, in
several of them it is the exception rather than the rule. Either there is no matter in the organization
susceptible of transformation, or the specific transformation is overpowered by the vital energies; for in
every case, if the morbific principle (zymine) tends to impart its movement to the organization, the
organization, animated by the natural forces, has a tendency to continue its own processes, and to impart
its conservative movements to all the organic matters which are brought within its sphere.
Varioline is converted in the cow (as Mr. Seeley has shown) into vacciniue, and cow-pox affords an
interesting illustration of the modifications which diseases undergo, and which may be imparted to them,
by changes in their exciters. Vaccinine taken from the cow effects the transformation of the materics
morbi in man almost as completely as varioline ; but it reproduces vaccinine ; and in the process is never
fatal, never produces the variolous fever, and its vapour is never infectious like that of varioline. The
mild form of small-pox which appears in persons modified by previous vaccination, or which follows
small-pox inoculation, is an equally good example of the changes induced in diseases by the actual
constitution of the individual, and the mode of infection.
Syphilis, erysipelas, necusia, metria, rubeola, scarlatina, and the other zymotic diseases, also put on
different forms ; which may be referred to the state of the exciter, the mode of its application, the matter
on which the exciter acts, or the vitality of the patient. A modification of cholerine, or of enterine,
probably produces diarrhoea. Louis considers dothinenteria (his Jievre typhoide) a different disease from
the typhus of this country, and points out the ulcerations, particularly of the glands of Peyer, with the
correlative phenomena, and the rose-spots disappearing under pressure, as establishing its distinct
character.* The differences in certain cases are unquestionable, and may be expressed by dothinenteria and
typhus : but the two forms of the disease occur in this country ; the characters are frequently mixed ; and
they are not greater than are observed in scarlatina simplex, and scarlatina maligna, with black incrus-
tations, and gangrenous inflammation of the throat — in the erythema and phlegmonous erysipelas of
Mr. Lawrence, or in the varieties of other diseases.
The blood which pervades the whole system is the primary seat of zymotic diseases ; but this does not
diminish the importance of the local phenomena with which they commence, proceed, or terminate;
for they affect (as poisons do) particular organs more extensively and frequently than others, give
rise to specific pathological formations or secretions, and derive their character from the lesions and
affected organs.
The heat disengaged in these diseases suggested the term fever, derived from ferveo, as fermentum is
from fervimentum.
Some zymotic diseases recur, others happen only once in life, or if they happen twice, it is the
exception: this has been explained on the hypothesis that some but not all kinds of matter (zymin) are
reproduced in the organization after they have been destroyed by transformation (zymosis) in attacks of
disease.
The tendency of zymotic diseases to increase and decline in activity, is one of their most remarkable
properties ; and the suddenness of their outbreaks, with the great mortality of which they were the cause,
excited at an early period the attention and solicitude of mankind. This tendency is indicated by the
terms epidemic and endemic ; the latter serving to designate diseases which are excited by miasmata, and
prevail in proportion to the quantity of miasm developed ; the former, epidemic, denoting the diseases
transmitted from man to man, independently of locality, or oidy dependent on locality, temperature, and
moisture, as adventitious circumstances. For statistical purposes, the epidemic, endemic, and contagious
diseases, have been classed under one head, as they may all be excited by organic matter in a state of
pathological transformation. Ague is not contagious, and is apt to recur ; it therefore apparently
approaches the class of toxical diseases ; but I feel inclined rather to consider it a zymotic disease, in
which, to use the language of Liebig, the exciter is destroyed as soon as it is reproduced ; and this view is
confirmed by the analogies of remittent fever, or yellow fever, so intimately allied in some respects with
ague, in others with plague, and apparently contagious (though this is disputed) in certain circumstances.
Scurvy is a transformation induced by the want or inadequate supply of vegetable food. It formerly
decimated the English navy, and is now met with in certain prisons. Scabies and porrigo (both con-
tagious diseases) are ascribed to an insect ( acarus scabiei) and a low form of independent organization.
The mode in which zymotic diseases are propagated has offered the ground of an interesting comparison
between their diffusion, blight of vegetables, and the generation of animalcules.
Sydenham referred, in the following passage, to zymotic diseases, which were so rife in Loudon,
formerly, as to divert attention from pure inttammalions ; and, as they approach nearer than other
diseases to the definition of species in natural history, justify the comparison which he has instituted : —
“ If the humours are retained in the body beyond the due time, either (1) because nature cannot digest
and afterwards expel them, or (2) from their having contracted a morbific taint from a particular consti-
tution of the air, or (3) lastly, from their being infected with some poison: by these, 1 say, and the like
causes, these humours are worked up into a substantial form or species, that discovers itself by particular
symptoms, agreeable to its peculiar essence; and these symptoms, notwithstanding they may, for want of
attention, seem to arise either from the nature of the part in which the humour is lrxlged, or from the
humour itself before it assumed this species, are in reality disorders that proceed from the essence of the
species newly raised to this pitch [zymine] ; so that every specific disease arises from some specific
exaltation, or peculiar quality of some humour [zymtn] contained in a living body. Undei this kind
may be comprehended most diseases which have a certain form or appearance; nature in fact observing

i lie same uniform method in producing and bringing diseases to a height or crisis as she does in the pro-
duction or growth of plants or animals: for, as every plant or animal is possessed of peculiar properties,
so is it likewise in every exaltation of any humour, after its being come to a species or disease. We have
a clear proof of this every day, in those kinds of excrescences that grow on trees and shrubs (occasioned
by the ill quality of the nutritious juice, or other causes), in the form of moss, mistletoe, mushrooms, and
the like ; all which are manifestly different essences or species from the tree or shrub that bears them.” —
Sydenham’ s Works, trans. by G. Wallis.
Sydenham’s methods of treatment were adopted by him, and recommended as the results of experi-
mental investigation. However their use might have been suggested, their efficacy was determined by their
apparent influence on the recovery of patients; but, in his exposition of therapeutic principles, he keeps
constantly in view his theory of “ commotion” ( commotio ) ; “a general term which he chooses in order
to prevent all fruitless dispute about words that might arise from the use of ‘ fermentation,’ or ‘ ebullition’
( fermentatio vel ebullitio), which, though they may seem harsh and metaphorical to some, are capable of
a commodious interpretation.” Thus, in speaking of “continued fever,” he says, “ with regard to this
disease, 1 judge that the genuine indications are to keep the commotion of the blood [zymosis] within
such bounds as suit the design of nature, so as to prevent its rising too high on one side, whence dangerous
symptoms might follow ; or sinking too low on the other, whereby either the exclusion of the morbific
matter might be hindered, or the endeavour of the blood affecting a new state be frustrated.
The early medical observers have directed attention to the analogies zymotic diseases have with com-
bustion, fermentation, putrefaction, and poisoning. These analogies have been, to a certain extent, confirmed
by the researches of modem chemistry; and Liebig has been led by the study of organic transformations,
— fermentation, putrefaction, decay,— to develop a theory invented by the greatest practical physicians to
explain the phenomena of zymotic diseases.
Liebig observes, “ that physicians had referred formerly to fermentation merely by way of illustration
from which it is evident that he had not had time to consult the English medical classics on this head, or he
would have discovered not, indeed, an anticipation of his own generalizations, but a theory very similar
to his own, — the basis of their pathology, — founded upon enlarged views, and well calculated to prepare
the way for his researches and the researches of other chemists.
Morton, in his Pyretologia, calls the principles which it has been proposed in a previous page to designate
generally zymine, “ fermentum venenatum and the following definition is printed in italics in the intro-
duction, and applied in the subsequent chapters of his work to the explanation of all the “ inorbi univer-
sales acuti ” —
* * * “ fomitem febriferum ('the ‘ fermentum venenatum’ of a previous sentence) asseramus
esse — Deleterium quid in spirituum systemate delitescens, quod fermenti ad instar eos adoriens atque
oestro primum exagitans, deinde humoribus secundo quasi momento, varias mutationes atque qualitates
morbosas nobis sensibiles impertit.” This, he adds, is his general hypothesis — “ nostram generalem
hypothesin.”
Here we have (1) the “ deleterium quid ” communicating its action like a ferment to (2) the latent
assumed constituents (spirituum systems*), and by a secondary impulse, as it were, producing perceptible
transformations ( mutationes ) in the blood, tissue, and secretions. The sentence also recalls a principle in
physics, which Liebig has quoted in the words of Laplace and Berthollet, and to which he appears to
think all chemical transformations maybe referred: — '“A molecule, set in motion by any power, can
impart its own motion to another molecule with which it may be in contact.”
The three great cotemporaries, Sydenham, Morton, and Willis, lived in London when plague and
epidemic diseases prevailed, and much as they differed or were mistaken, on some points, all announced
more or less clearly the zymotic hypothesis. They were not, it must be borne in mind, mere chemiafric
theorists ; they had studied diseased action as assiduously and with as much sagacity as modern chemists
have studied fermentation; Willis was a great anatomist; Sydenham and Morton have left original
pathological delineations which have never been surpassed, and laid down plans of treatment which are
still followed.
* Morton adopted the hypothesis of animal spirits from Kernel, and though it enabled him to explain many pheno-
mena happily, lie did not fail to fall into absurdities, (for so we must now call them,) by employing it to explain every-
thing ; still such passages as the following admit of a scientific coustructiou, and are another proof that the exploded
theories of ingenious men always contain traces of important truths.
Spiritus animales esse to evepyprircov seu primum prineipium activum, et quasi fermentum universale totius corporis
a quo sanguis et liumores varie agitantur, etimmutantur, non dubito. T. 2, p. 7, 8.
Willis employed the chemical theory and the few chemical facts known in the seventeenth century with still greater
rashness in his treatises de fermentaoone and de febribus ; yet he has many felicitous ant cipations of modern deductions,
and Liebig will admit that in the following passages the Oxford professor referred to fermentation i'or something more
than an illustiation. He is speaking of small-pox, measles, (and scarlatina.) Convenit enim homini umrii , soli , et semel

Pestilences in Low Places.
THE PESTILENCES OF THE PRESENT DAY ARE MOST FATAL IN LOW PLACES.
The influence of elevation, if not as obvious in other zymotic diseases as it is in
cholera, is equally important, for they are all governed by similar laws.
Ague and Remittent Fever.
The marsh fever of the intermittent, remittent, and continued form, exists in parts
of England, and of almost every kingdom of the world. Instead of investigating its
mild forms in the Essex marshes, or the intense varieties of th^ tropics, it will be more
convenient to study it in Italy, where it has from an early period attracted the atten-
tion of qualified observers.
The fever of the Mediterranean appears to be a milder form of the remittent of the
tropics. Its type is well seen in the Tuscan Maremme, which have been recently de-
scribed by A. Salvagnoli Marchetti, in two Reports published by the Grand Duke of
Tuscany.* The fevers are simple interinittents in spring : as the season advances
gastric complications supervene, and they then become bilious remittent, continued
gastric, typhoid, dysenteric. In the Maremme, from January to June, the diseases
peculiar to temperate climates are observed ; during the other months of the year, in
proportion as the temperature rises, the fevers put on a severer form, turn gradually
from intermittents into remittents, remittents into continuants, and then assume the
graver aspect of tropical disease.f
The Tuscan Maremme lies along the Mediterranean : commencing at San Vicenzio,
it extends to the river Chiarone on the borders of the Papal States. It is chiefly in
the province of Grosselo, and comprises a considerable territory of mountain, hill, and
beautiful plain. A map accompanies the Reports, and shows, by a yellow colour, the
parts in which malaria prevails; by a red colour the parts where the malaria is less
pernicious. The yellow colour stretches from io to 1 6 miles into the interior, over
the low plains traversed by the waters, and the red colour runs higher up the rivers
Cornio, Ombrone, and Albegna. The high land round the river sources, even where
it approaches the coast — is white, healthy, untouched — except in a few exceptional
cases. The insalubrity is at its maximum in the plains, slight among the hills, inap-
preciable in the mountains. To cite the w ords of the Report : Massimo, e la malsania
nclle pianure, mediocre nelle colline, affatto insensibile sui monti; quindi quest i
abitabile senza alcun rischio, le colline con qualche pericolo, le pianure con g rave e
eontinuo. Ten towns and castles are mentioned that are abandoned bv the greater
part of the inhabitants every summer. Some are far from the sea, some far from the
marshes. Montepescali is 760 feet above the level of the sea, Capalbio is still higher,
and Sovana is as high as 1-012 feet. The malaria is felt in some cases as high as 1400
or 2000 feet; it never arrives at Montorsajo, 2500 feet (1217 braccia) above the sea.
A remarkable instance is given of the sanification of Massa by Ximenes, who drained
the high plain by a subterranean canal ; of the reappearance of malaria when the
canal was stopped up, and its disappearance a second time when the water was drawn
off by effectual drainage^. Dr. Marchetti notices that the blood of the inhabitants of
the Maremme is changed : all the physicians, he says, who have attentively examined
it, are struck by the character it presents, which is so constant and striking that by
the blood alone you can distinguish the patient living habitually on a malarious soil
from a person residing in a healthy country. § A chemical analysis by Professor Cozzi
shows a deficiency of fibrine, albumen, fatty matter, and phosphates, and an appre-
ciable quantity of cholesierine. Nutrition is feeble, digestion bad, the liver disordered,
the spleen swollen, respiration weak; the heart is flaccid and beats fegblv. The
countenance is of a palish sallow tint, as in a chlorotic girl, or yellow as in jaundice.
The muscular movements are languid, bodily exercise fatiguing. Sensibility is
diminished. Strangers in the malaria speedily feel its effects ; they undergo a great

change, and soon acquire the constitution of the inhabitants of the Maremme.* Nearly
all the inhabitants of the neighbouring mountains, who descend to gather in and to
thrash the harvest, are attacked on the fields and doors, or shortly after their return
home. Their food is poor, the wine and water bad. They work hard in the sun,
and sleep often in the open air, or crowded, men and women together, in open cottages
(Capannoni) .j The agriculture of the Maremme is in the rudest state, the dwellings
are miserable, and there is no industrial manufacture. Such is the effect of the low
lands of Italy on the population not only of the Tuscan Maremme, but of the Pontine
Marshes, and all the other depressed parts of the Mediterranean coast. The land of the
coast of the Adriatic is traversed by rapid rivers, and it is comparatively salubrious,
except at Ravenna, where the Apennines retreat from the sea.
The temperature of the province of Grosseto, lying between 420 22' and 43° 6' of
north latitude, necessarily varies at different elevations. At Grosseto it is at sunrise
and midday two degrees higher in spring, and one degree lower in summer than at
Florence, by Reaumur’s thermometer.
The hygrometer at Grosseto shows an excess of 20 degrees of moisture over (hat at
Florence, and in the evening it is from 25 to 30 degrees moister than in the morning.
The permanent population of the province of Grosseto was 5 3 1 7 5 *n I^I4’ anr^ 7^*79
in 1843. The number of births in the interval was 84075, of deaths 72954, exclusive
of those in hospitals, which the Reporter thinks may be fairly omitted. The settled
population in 1841 was 73966, of whom about 12260 lived in the plain, 61906 in
the hills and mountains. The adventitious population in the spring amounted to
19261 persons; 15982 males, 3279 females, from various parts of Italy. 8972 per-
sons; 7539 males and 1433 females, came down from the hills in the harvest season.
Of 35619 patients treated by the medical officers June 1, 1840-41, not less than 13682
had intermittent, 269 pernicious, 2520 continued gastric or catarrhal fevers; of the
latter many, of the former none died.§
Yellow Fever.
Yellow fever is also generated in and almost confined to lands of low elevation.
The Delta of the Mississippi in the Gulf of Mexico is its great centre.
“ Pres de la Vera Cruz,” writes Humboldt, “la ferme de FEncero, que j’ai trouvee
elevee de 928 metres au-dessus du niveau de l’ocean, est la limite superieure du vomito .
Nous avons deja observe plus haut, que c’est jusque la seulement que descendent les
chenes Mexicains, qui ne peuvent plus vegeter dans une chaleur propre a clevelopper le
germe de la fievre jaune.” ||
Vera Cruz lies on the coast, against the island of San Juan deUlloa. It is an arid
plain without running water, where the impetuous north winds, blowing from October
to May, have raised sandbanks, which are every year moved about and changed in form.
They are from eight to twelve metres high, and by reflecting the solar rays, in the
summer months, increase the suffocating heat of the atmosphere. “Between the city
and Aroyon Gavilan are found, in the midst of the banks, marshy grounds covered with
mangroves and other brambles. The stagnant waters of Boxio de la Tembladera, and
the small lagoons of Hormiga, of Rancho de la Hortaliza and of Arjona, produce
intermittent fevers among the indigenous inhabitants. They also play probably an
important part among the dreadful causes of the black vomit.” Humboldt adds, “ Soft
water is found by digging a metre deep in the sandy soil of Vera Cruz ; but it is in-
filtrated from the marshes and lagoons between the sandbanks. It is rain water
which has been in contact with the roots of vegetables ; is of a bad quality, and only
serves for washing. The lower classes of people resort to the waters of a ditch (Zana)
which comes from the Meganos, and is a little better than the well water, or than the
river of Tenoya. The better classes drink water collected in bad cisterns. The pure
and salubrious waters of the cisterns of San Juan deUlloa ar.e only given to the military.

Yellow Fever.
The merchants have country houses in Xalapa at an elevation of 1320 metres above
the ocean ; where they enjoy the fresh air, fine views, and clear sky ; while the mus-
quitoes, the heat, and the yellow fever plague the people below.* * * § The wind blows
north, and a fog hangs over Xalapa in winter ; the sun and stars are covered for two
or three weeks together. But this does not bring the fever.
Baron Humboldt thus sums up his views and his observations : — Les phenomenes dc
la vie sont modifies par un grand nombre de causes, dont les plus puissantes echappenl
a nos sens. Nous voyons naltre des maladies partout oil des substances organisees,
impregnees d'un certain degre d’humiditc, et echauffees par le soleil sont en contact
avec V air atmospherique.’f
The yellow fever does not extend its ravages in the epidemic form beyond the 46th
degree of north latitude. New Orleans, Charlestown, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, and the low cities and ports on the coast of America, have all been
visited by this pestilence; but its violence diminishes in the northern latitudes, and
everywhere fades away in the high inland cities. In the Mediterranean it has
several times assailed Spain ; appearing first and committing its greatest ravages in
Cadiz, Seville, Malaga, Cartnagena, Barcelona, and the other ports; radiating into
the interior with diminished violence, and proving but rarely fatal on such high
places as Gibraltar. In Catalonia, as in the West Indies, it enters with extreme diffi-
culty elevated, airy localities ; in the words of M. Pariset and his colleagues, pas-
sionate contaeionists : — uElle aime les Lords de la mer et des Jleuves ; et, chose etrange,
elle attaque indifferemeut les populations qui occuppent les lieux sains, comme celles
qui resident sur un sol insalubre.” It attacks low places reputed healthy, and in
that respect resembles cholera; but the documents of the French physicians throw no
light on its relative mortality in high and low localities. |
The West Indies and the West Coast of Africa in the tropics, are decimated by a deadly
remittent fever which is closely allied to yellow fever. Lind, in the last century, after a
comprehensive survey of the facts, observed that “ not only continents, but most large
islands in every quarter of the world, have ridges of high mountains, where the air
proves healthy to European constitutions ; even in the smaller islands, such a retreat can
generally be found.” He showed that Antigua, “ especially English Harbour, is remark-
able for its unhealthfulness, as our ships of war frequently experience in the loss of
their men by the yellow fever and flux, when they refit in that harbour ; but that an
absolute safety from these diseases is to be found in the high mountains of that island,
especially in that called Monks Hill.” § The same thing is observed in Dominica. He
strongly urges the Europeans in Jamaica to reside in temperate and pleasant situa-
tions on the sides of the mountains, where the ground is cleared from wood, and
has no stagnating water upon or near its surface ; where the soil is rich and fertile,
favourable to the cultivation of European plants, and to the health of European animals.
Notwithstanding Lind’s representations, “the principal West India towns, and
the garrisons for -the troops, are situated on the leeward shores of the country, at the
bottom of the deepest bays that can be found, as a protection to their trade against
the winds from the sea. The soil must consequently be alluvial, and is often
marshy. * * * Their elevation is little above the level of the sea. * * * The
settlements of the planters, in like manner, are formed, not on the elevated mountain
ridge, from which the periodical rains have washed away the soil, but in the alluvial
ground beneath. * * * Ague is not a common production in the hot low land, on or
near the level of the sea, where alone the yellow fever is Jound.” || These low towns,
and plantations, which were the resort of yellow fever, have since been ravaged by
cholera ; the intensity of the disease has shown how constantly, and in what variable
circumstances the law of elevation operates. Mr. Parkin, who was on the spot, states

that the epidemic also ascended the hills ; but he has not the means of giving the
mortality at different elevations.
How the low alluvial shores of the West Coast of Africa, and of the rivers near the
coast, are infested by the fever is well known. The fatality of the Niger expeditions, and
the mortality in ships and forts on the Coast of Africa are also well known, and have
been well described by Boyle, McWilliam, Ttilloch, and Balfour, in the valuable army
and navy returns, and in other official reports. Lind states that Portuguese bishops
lived in health, and to the ordinary term of life, in the island of St. Antonio. He
mentions among places that might be easily rendered healthy, “the high hills of Sierra
Leone, upon whose summits the air is clear and serene, while thick mists and noisome
vapours overspread the lower grounds ; yet even ” he adds, “at this place the English
inhabit a low valley merely for the benefit of a spring of water, the carriage of which,
to any part of that hill, might be easily performed by slaves.” The salubrious parts
of Africa must be sought on the high grounds of the interior; ships now only regain
health by sailing out to sea.*
Plague.
Like cholera, yellow fever, and remittent fever, the glandular plague is now gene-
rated and prevails in Lower Egypt on alluvial ground ; and it has a limited rang-e of
elevation. It is endemic in the Delta of the Nile, and periodically decimates the popu-
lation of Cairo and Alexandria. It ascends the Nile, but never, says the Reporter of
the French Commission, passes the first cataract. It is unknown in Arabia, Nubia,
Sennaar, Abyssinia, — the former hot countries, the latter temperate, mountainous, inclin-
ing, free from marshes. Arabia, traversed by pilgrims from every part of the
Mahomedau world, escaped unscathed in the great plagues of 1825 and 1835, which
ravaged a chief part of Lower Egypt ; and Arabia has, from time immemorial, been
plagueless. The statement of the Commission is substantially true; but it would be more
correct to state that the plague grows gradually less fatal up the Nile, and that it is
less frequent and destructive in Upper than in Lower Egypt, in the high lands and in
the desert than on the low lands on the shores of the Mediterranean. The plague
of 1835 penetrated Said, Upper Egypt, and in the city of Siout destroyed more
than 13000 people.']'
The plague is most fatal in the parts of Lower Egypt near the Nile and the great
canals. Almost all the villages on the banks of the Nile, on the road to Fayoum, were
attacked in the epidemic of 1841 ; travellers and merchandize arrived there every day
from the infected parts, and two of the travellers were attacked in Fayoum, but the
population of the province escaped. Fayoum offers a striking contrast to Damietta,
where the plague is most destructive. Fayoum, says Dr. Rossi, is raised above the
level of the sea, and surrounded by the Desert of Libya; hot but dry; without
marshes: the cemeteries are at a distance from the habitations of the people; the
water, without being delicious, may be drunk without inconvenience, on account of
the nitre which it holds in solution. Damietta, at the mouth of the Nile, touches the
sea; it is surrounded by fresh and salt water marshes; the air is hot and humid ; the
cemeteries are in the heart of the city ; the fresh is mixed with salt water, or soiled by
excrementitial products, and animal and vegetable matters in putrefaction. While Suez,
a low port surrounded by stagnant water, was attacked in 1835, Cosseir, built on
rocks, and surrounded by arid mountains, escaped, although it obtained its provision
from Keneh, where the plague broke out nearly as soon as at Cairo. Desgenettes
and Clot Bey agree that while Cairo itself is ravaged by plague, the citadel on
high ground is invariably spared. Cairo, containing now about 200,000 inhabitants,
is in a sandy plain at the foot of a mountain, “ which, by keeping off the winds that
would refresh the air, makes the heat very stifling. Through the midst of it passes the

Egypt, Constantinople , Syria.
Great Canal,” into which the sewers are discharged over carrion, excreta, and mud.
At the yearly overflow of the Nile, its waters filling this canal are distributed over
the city, and drunk by the wretched inhabitants. Under the hot sun evaporation goes
on; the bed of the canal is exposed; the water, stinking and black, sends up mephitic
exhalations, which produce headache and sickness.* * * § The water of Lower Egypt is
generally bad. Alexandria lies lower than Cairo; with the ’akes near, and the
infectious shores of its two ports, the stagnant waters in the cisterns and the streets,
its numerous villages of small huts constructed of earth without any opening but the
door raised scarcely three feet from the ground, and sheltering every night number-
less families of sailors and dockyard labourers : it is the home of the plague.')'
All over the Delta the poor Egyptian constructs his house, or ralher den, of mud; it
is low, dark, damp, and filthy. The full grave of the family is often under the floor.
The clothing and food .of the fellah is of the lowest description; lie is subject to the
most debasing oppression.
Constantinople is another centre of the plague, and the circumstances in which' it
springs up are not very different. The most fatal quarters lie along the port, or in the dirty
wretched villages on the European shore of the Bosphorus. The plagues of 1831 and
1834 first appeared in San Dimitri, a village separated from the Pera by a small stream,
polluted by the impurities of the places on its margin. A village on Mount Alem
Dagh, 500 metres above the level of the sea, always enjoys immunity, while the plague
is raging below ; to this place of refuge the inhabitants of the capital resort. The
plague reaches a village lower down the Alem Dagh.
The plague still ravages periodically the population in the lower part of the basin of
the Danube. The river falls from an elevation of 1000 metres to 240 metres at
Vienna, to 140 at Buda, while at Orsova in Wallachia, it is only 21 metres; at
Brahiloff, 3 ’19 metres above the Black Sea. Consequently, both the banks of the
Danube, from Belgrade to the sea, are marshy. The Turkish towns have a beautiful
appearance as they are reflected from the waters, but like the eleven ports of Wal-
lachia, they are within squalid, dirty, and insalubrious. The houses in Widin are
nearly buried in the earth. Galatz, in Moldavia, on the delta of the Danube, is noted
for its unhealthiness. The plague is less virulent here than it is in Egypt, in Constan-
tinople, or even in Erzeroum.
Syria has four regions : the first, a warm, moist valley, lying along the coast ; the
second, hilly and rough, colder and healthier; the third, dry and hot, facing the east:
the fourth, the depressed valley of the Jordan. § The plague is endemic, says Larrey,
on the coast of Syria. It committed, in the epidemic which he observed, great ravages
in Gaza, Jaffa, St. Jean-d’Acre, and did not spare the Arabs of the Desert in the vici-
nity of the sea. It was scarcely felt in the villages of the mountains of Nablous and
Canaan, but reigned in low marshy spots and places on the coast. The epidemic
usually breaks out first in Antioch, Tripoli, Beyrout, Tyre, and Jaffa, whence it spreads
to Jerusalem, Nazareth, and other higher towns or villages in the interior, with a dimi-
nishing mortality.|| The plague appears also on the Euphrates and the Tigris. In
1831 it broke out in Bagdad with terrible violence, destroyed half of the population,
and left whole streets dispeopled. Bouchir and Bassora, above the Delta, on the
Persian Gulf, suffered severely. Erzeroum, near the source of the Euphrates, high
among the mountains of Armenia, is held by Dr. Prus to be one of the endemic
sources of the oriental plague. The documents show that there plague is periodically
epidemic.
The capital of Armenia is on that high land from which the fathers of the Semitic
race of men descended, and has a population estimated at 50000, surrounded by
populous villages. It lies between the two northern streams of the Euphrates, which
unite three leagues below the city ; the country is marshy, and is flooded when the

snows melt on the mountains. In summer the temperature is as high as 70° and 8o°.
In winter the temperature is helow, and rarely rises above the freezing point ; then
the families of men and domestic animals sleep promiscuously in the low, small,
damp huts of earth, round fires of dried cow-dung. “ On ne saurait s’imaginer,” says
the celebrated Tournefort ; “ quel horrible parfum repand ce detestable combustible
dans les maisons qui ne sont que des terriers.”* The inhabitants of Ezeroum and the
villages around are generally poor, and live 0, good deal on salt provisions ; milk and
olives are their resource in great extremities. Blood, excreta, and dead animals lie
about the humid streets of Erzeroum — near the region which, by some critics, is
believed to have been the site of Paradise — just as in London they lie in Church-street,
St. Giles. The last plague broke out in the villages round Erzeroum in 1840, and
destroyed 36000 of the people in 1841. It is said, however, not to occur oftener than
once in twenty or twenty-five years. And the Armenians in good circumstances, when
the plague breaks out, encamp on the hills ; whence they send for what they want to
the city, without contracting the disease. The plague occurs every ten years at
Trebisond ; more rarely and less fatally in Gymuchane, Kurdistan, Tauris, and Casbin ;
is unknown at Ispahan, and never makes its appearance at Teheran : how it ravages
Aleppo and Bagdad is well known. It does not cross the line drawn from the Caspian
Sea to the Persian Gulf: that barrier separates it from the region of cholera which is
subject to less restriction in its career. The Persians fly for safety to the mountains
from plague, as the natives of India fly from cholera. t
Venice and Marseilles are, after Constantinople, the cities that have last and most
severely suffered from plague. The lazaretto was first established in Venice (1403),
and is still maintained with much rigour in Marseilles. Venice is low on the lagoons ;
and is traversed by canals, which have all the offensive qualities of open sewers.
Marseilles lies near a great marsh and is surrounded by hills. Of the port M. Dubois
(d’Amiens) gave a graphical account, the accuracy of which was not disputed
in the discussions on quarantine. The old city lies low; the new city is spacious,
clean, airy, but surrounds the infected port. “ Seven or eight hundred vessels and
steamers lay ranged along the quays, floating in the black, fetid waters. I took a boat
to visit, in the company of a young physician of the place, the islands of Pomegue,
Ratonneau, and Chateau-d’If. The purity and perfect translucency of the waters of the
Mediterranean are well known ; but once we were on the water we had literally to hold
our noses at every stroke of the oar, so offensive were the exhalations. On regarding
the streets adjoining, I could imagine the frightful ravages of the plague on the same
day (August 25th), 125 years before. The port was a vast ditch into which the bodies
of the victims and of the dogs that devoured them were cast ; it was a city of Lower
Egypt; and as in the East they are content at the close of an epidemic to whitewash
the dwellings of the dead so it was in Marseilles. They never thought of disinfecting
the port which has ever since remained in much the same state.”! Marseilles is
perhaps in a worse condition than Liverpool ; it did not sutler so soon from cholera as
Paris, but the epidemic reached Marseilles in 1834, and devastated the city in 1834
and 1835.
It will he recollected that the Black Death of the fourteenth century first broke
out in Southampton, and was, like the plagues of the seventeenth century, excessively
fatal in London. This large undrained city and frequented port, inundated with im-
purities, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was infested by plague; and it
now becomes a matter of interest to know whether in those visitations the influence
of elevation of soil on the mortality was felt. The mortality pf each parish was
separately returned in 1665, and on comparing the burials in this great year of plague
with the burials returned in 1662-3, ^ w'll be seen that the epidemic generally

prevailed more in the low than in the high districts ; but that the variation was much
less than in cholera.
SALUBRITY OF HIGH PLACES.
The human race is now destroyed periodically by five pestilences : cholera, remittent
fever, yellow fever, giandular plague, and influenza. The origin or chief seat of the
first is in the Delta of the Ganges; of the second, the African and other tropical
coasts ; of the third, the low west coast round the Gulf of Mexico or the Delta of the
Mississipi, and the West India Islands; of the fourth, the Delta of the Nile and the
low sea-side cities of the Mediterranean : of the generating field of influenza nothing
certain is known, but from the course of its epidemics one might be disposed to
look for it in Russia, perhaps among the fishing tribes of the Arctic Ocean, or in the
vast marshes of Sibeiia traversed by the Obv, the Yenisei, and the Lena; where the
Russian returns show that the mortality is higher than it is in many cities of Western
Europe. But as no system of medical observation — such as is in India — exists in
Siberia, the source of influenza must long remain enveloped in obscurity. Its fatality
at different elevations has also yet to be investigated.
The four great pestilential diseases — cholera, yellow fever, remittent fever, and
plague — have this property in common ; that they begin and are most fatal on low
ground ; that their latality diminishes in ascending the rivers, and is inconsiderable
around the river sources, except under such peculiar circumstances as are met with at
Erzeroum, where the features of a marshy sea-side city are seen at the foot of the
mountain chain of Ararat. Safety is found in flight to the hills and to the
desert, or in the removal of ships from infected ports to the open sea. Large masses

Influence of Locality on Race. xci
of men — armies, pilgrims, or sailors in foul ships — often carry the epidemic with them
to unhealthy places.
The people living on land of a certain elevation above the plains are not only safe
from the attacks of cholera, remittent fever, yellow fever, and plague, but they are in a
remarkable, degree exempt from other maladies. Their functions are healthy, and their
faculties are energetically developed. They present the finest types of the human race.
This is evident not only in Cashmere, Georgia, and Circassia, but in all the hill tribes of
India. The miserable natives of the Sunderbunds are below' them in all the character-
istic attributes of man. The Arabs and Abyssinians too, on the elevated lands of the
desert, and on the sides of the mountains from which the Nile descends, present a
striking superiority over the people of Lower Egypt ; their fiery life, love of liberty,
and warlike genius, place them immeasurably above the Fellahs. And it is not the
air of the sea that deteriorates the race, for the sea as it restores health also sustains
a seafaring people: and islanders generally, whether in the Pacific, the Mediterranean,
or the Atlantic, are above the standard type of the people on low rivers, and on the low-
coasts of continents. In Venice and Holland the sea appears for a long time to have
counteracted the degrading influences of low alluvial lands on fine original races.
The people bred on marshy coasts and low river margins, where pestilence is generated,
live sordidly, without liberty, without poetry, without virtue, without science. They
neither invent nor practise the arts; they possess neither hospitals, nor castles, nor habi-
tations fit to dwell in ; neither farms, freeholds, nor workshops. They are conquered
and oppressed by successive tribes of the stronger races, and appear to be incapable of
any form, of society except that in which they are slaves. Strangers no sooner set foot
or attempt to settle on the soil than the endemic terror attacks them as if to bid them
begone ; and if they remain, their institutions, palaces, and monuments, fall into ruins,
as the generations degenerate.
The sanatory influence of the hills in the tropics is well marked, and is now turned
to practical account. On the Neelgherry range, on high grounds, at Simla, and on hills
below the Himalaya, invalids that fever, dysentery, and cholera have shattered but
not killed, recover strength and inhale new life.* It is the same in the West Indies, in
Mexico, in the Mediterranean, in Asia Minor, in Italy, and in Africa. In the last
Niger expedition, amidst many excellent arrangements, two errors appear to have
been committed : the first, the attempt to effect any settlement of Europeans at all
near the river; and the second, the selection of Mount Stirling, 200 feet high, at
the confluence of the Niger and the Tchadda in lieu of Mount Paiteh, which rises
behind Mount Stirling to the height of 1160 feet above the level of the river,
forming on the summit an extensive flat plain on which there are several villages. I
“ The Albert” — after the fatal fever broke out on the river, and the officers, engineers,
and white sailors were sick or dead — was gallantly steamed down the waters by
McWilliam the senior medical officer, and Dr. Sanger. “The Albert” afterwards
sailed to the Island of Ascension. The healing effect of the hills was strikingly
experienced. “ On my arrival I was subject,” says Dr. McWilliam, “ to severe attacks
of ague, following the remittent fever of the Niger; and it tormented me for nearly six
weeks, while I remained on board the ship in the roads. I then went up to the
mountain quarters, and after one fit of ague, was rid of every symptom of the disease
as long as I continued on the island. It restored others who like him had been
reduced to the brink of death on the Delta of the Niger. “ How many,” he adds,
“naval medical officers on the African station have seen their sick daily wasting and
pining, and all their endeavours to relieve them unavailing so long as the vessel
remained on the coast? And what a salutary change have they witnessed as the result
of even a short residence at Ascension? The south-east trade wind blows perpetually
over this island, and the freshness of the atmosphere is singularly exhilarating to an
invalid from the coast.” The temperature of the lower districts is about 81°, while the

heat on the Green Mountain, with its peak 2870 feet above the level of the sea, is
72 on the flat land near the ridge on which the quarters are situated.
The ancients were well aware of the salubrity of islands and of the high lands; on
which the chief temples of .TSsciilapius {’AccXrjTrleia) were erected. The temples
of Cos and Delos were on islands. The temple of Las was on the summit of Mount
Ilium near the Gulf of Laconia; at a short distance flowed the pure and salutary
waters of the Smenus. The temple of Megalopolis in Arcadia, was on the eastern
brow of the mountain in a sacred grove ; for the temples were sometimes sheltered
from malaria by trees, and sometimes surrounded by gardens and consecrated ground
on which no buildings could he erected. The temple of Cyllene, in Elis, was near the
sea; but it was on Cape Hyrminius. Epidaurus, also on the sea-coast, was sur-
rounded by wood-crowned hills. The temples of Hygeia at ^Egium, of ^Esculapius
at Corona near the Gulf of Messena, and at Pergamus, were near springs of pure
water, or the sources of streams. The Greek temples of health were away from the
cities, isolated, near pure waters, on sweet, elevated places.* Hippocrates has sketched,
with the hand of a master, the effects of high and low land, of good and bad water, on
the diseases, energies, character, and intellect of men.f
The site of ancient Rome, on hills of nearly the same elevation as the high parts
of London, was as happily chosen to secure the health as the defence of the Roman
people. The Campagna extends from the Tiber southward along the coast for sixty
miles, and inland as far as the first slopes of the Apennines. In the vicinity of the coast
the land is low and swampy, but the remainder of the country — the great nursery of the
Roman people — is a vast expanse of table land seldom less than a hundred feet above
the level of the sea, and for the most part perfectly dry. In the midst of the plain
the isolated mass of the Alban hills “ divides the Campagna Proper from the deadly
level of the Pontine marshes.” About 18 miles from the month of the Tiber, the
stream sweeps round an alluvial meadow7 containing upw'ards of 300 English acres.
This is the Campus Martius from which a steep bank rises abruptly and then slopes
gradually into the table land, which forms the general surface of the country beyond.
The projecting bluffs of the bank, separated from each other and from the main tidge
by deep hollows, stand as small isolated hills with steep rocky escarpments, and are
the Capitoline, Palatine, and Avcntine hills ; the Coelian lies south-east of the Pala-
tine. Another ridge throws out the Esquiline, Viminal, and Quirinal. The Jani-
culum and the Vatican noted for its insalubrity, are on the right bank of the Tiber.
The Insula Tiberina is in the centre of the river, against the base of the Capitoline.
The Tiber at Rome is 33 feet above the sea level ; the summits of the hills range from
1 17 feet to 1 54 feet above the ordinary level of the Tiber. The Saburra, in the hollow’
between the Esquiline and the Quirinal, was one of the most busy and thickly-peopled
quarters of the city, but the public buildings and the habitations of the Roman people
in the most glorious period of their history, were on the seven hills. The site of the
city, as well as the great Aqueducts and Cloaca Maxima, evince an exquisite percep-
tion of the conditions on which warlike tribes might retain martial vigour in an Eternal
City. Non sine causa DU, hominesque hunc Urbi condendcc locum elcgcrunt, s.\ i.u-

stale, subjugated the earth beneath by vast subterranean drains ; and gradually brought
distant springs underground and in aqueducts to supply the citizens with pure water.

The chief Roman encampments of which traces remain in England, were on the
Malvern Hills, the Cotswold Hills, and other high spots, which even, when the country
was undrained, must have been healthy. Roman London was on a hill; the West-
minster of the monks in a swamp, as Peterborough and other monasteries were, pro-
bably for protection from the Northmen and Marauders. Many monasteries and
priories were on fine sites.
The military posts most easily defended in ancient times against an enemy are the
best defences against epidemics; and with the regularity of a general law, the first
cities, castles, and temples were on high places.
The modern Romans, remarkably enough, inhabit the low alluvial ground (Campus
Martius), which the Tiber embraces as the Thames does Southwark, and the low-
ground on the opposite banks of the river. The Quirinal and a part of the Capitoline
are still covered with habitations ; the Palatine, the Esquiline, the Coelian, and the
Aventine are deserted; the bells of conventual buildings alone disturb the silence
reigning in the waste among the crumbling ruins and vineyards.* * * § Lancisi has
traced the history of the great city through all its vicissitudes, until it was deserted
by the Roman pontiffs, and its population had dwindled down to thirty-three thousand ;
hut he leaves it uncertain when the people descended from the hills.*]* Leo X., who
filled the city with strangers, suffered his new colonists to build on the Campus
Martius, and the other low grounds were occupied although the houses were infested
by the inundations of the Tiber. Tiberinis alluvionibus incolas humilium Urbis regi-
onura ssepe diuturnis, ssepe etiarn saevioribus segritudinibus loborasse, luculentius ipsa

mus,J says Lancisi, writing in 1710. Cholera, in four months — July, August, Sep-
tember, and October, 1837 — destroyed 5419 of these fallen people, who did not exceed
156,000 in number. §
As the power of the Egyptians descended from the Thebaid to Memphis, from Mem-
phis to Sais, they gradually degenerated ; notwithstanding the elevation of their towns
above the high waters of the Nile, their hygienic laws, and the hydrographical and
other great sanatory arrangements which made the country renowned justly or unjustly
for its salubrity in the days of Herodotus. The poison of the Delta, in every time of
weakness and successful invasion, gradually gained the ascendancy; and as the cities
declined, the canals and the embalmments of the dead were neglected, — the plague
gained ground. The people, subjugated by Persians, Greeks, Romans, Turks,
Mamelukes, became what they have been for centuries, and what they are in the
present day. Every race that settled in the Delta degenerated, and was only sustained
by immigration. So likewise the populations on the sites of all the city-states of
antiquity on the coast of Syria, Asia Minor, Africa, Italy, seated like the people of
Rome on low ground, under the ruin-clad hills of their ancestors, within reach of
fever and plague — are enervated and debased apparently beyond redemption. The
history of the nations on the Mediterranean, on the plains of the Euphrates and
Tigris, the deltas of the Indus and the Ganges, and the rivers of China, exhibits this
great fact — the gradual descent of races from the high lands, their establishment on the
coasts in cities sustained and refreshed for a season by immigration from the interior;
their degradation in successive generations under the influence of the unhealthy earth,
and their final ruin, efFacement, or subjugation by new races of conquerors. The

It is unlikely that mankind should be left exclusively to the guidance either of
calculation or experience in matters of so much importance as the character, vigour,
health, and existence of race. The species of the vegetable kingdom, from the moss
to the cedar of Lebanon ; the rush, grass, oat, heath; the willow, oak, beech, hazel,
birch ; the sugar-cane, palm, date, olive, vine, barley, find by some affinity con-
genial fields of growth in the tropics, the temperate and the frigid zones, on the low
marshy coast, meadows, fields, uplands, sub-alpiue, or alpine regions of the earth ; and
the tribes of the animal kingdom, on a similar principle or by a sort of instinct, find
homes in the great deep, on the plains, by springs on the hill sides, or in upper air;
the infusoria, reptiles, aquatic fowls, the beasts of the forest and field, the birds of the
moor, and the eagle, have their haunts, and choose or change their habitation not
by any effort of reason, but by an inborn infallible instinct : and man has also an
instinctive sense which draws hint to the healthy places of the earth, and makes the
lands in which his race dies and is degraded repulsive. In dank marshes surrounded
by stagnant waters, and in hollow places of the earth covered with reptiles, we feel
oppressed ; on the plain, where the breezes sweep over the herbage, the mind as well
as the body is at ease ; and as we ascend the uplands of England, pass large flourish-
ing trees by fresh waters, or mounting still higher see the living springs burst from the
earth, the hills covered with heather, the woods, fields, and plains stretched out in
endless undulations below, the chest expands in the elastic air, and the soul seems to
drink in deeper draughts of Life. On the high lands men feel the loftiest emotions.
Every tradition places their origin there. The first nations worshipped there. High
on the Indian Caucasus, on Olympus, and on other lofty mountains, the Indians and
Greeks imagined the abodes of their highest gods; while they peopled the low under-
ground regions, the graveland of mortality, with infernal deities. These myths have
a deep signification. Man feels his immortality in the hills.
The teverous depressed spirits of the sick on the tropical shores revive at the
sight of the hills. The Niger expedition was attacked by the African fever some
days after the vessels had passed through the Delta, and the patients from the
commencement fell into a state of great depression, which their impending fate
justified : “ Yet,” says the medical historian, “ on approaching the confluence of the
Niger and the Tchadda, where the hills around them rose precipitous, and the high
table land was seen stretching from north-east to south-west, the effect of the high
land on the energies of the sick was extraordinary. This moral stimulant seemed
to exert a most salutary influence upon men who had not for days raised their heads
from the pillow ; many now began to look up and call to mind hills in their own
country, which they fancied bore a resemblance to those around them.”|
The effect of high and low land is as real, but not so obvious, in England as it is in the
tropics. The Saxons and the Northmen came to these islands in ships, and their de-
scendants retain an inextinguishable passion for the sea. In summer and in seasons of
sickness English families flv to the sea-side; in the winter they resort to warm, sheltered
spots in the south of England or on the western coast. The boatmen, fishermen, and sea-
men are generally a hardy, adventurous race. The coast is in many parts precipitous, and
the high districts are healthy. In the low, marshy tracts along the southern and

Healthy Places have Fine Breeds of Animals. xcv
eastern coast and the estuaries of rivers, the health of the people is depressed. Around
the Wash the mortality approaches that of the Tuscan Maremme. The Atlantic has,
however, some sanatory as well as commercial advantages over the tideless Mediter-
ranean.
The extensive observations which have been collected under the Registration Act,
and the calculations in this Report, show indisputably that the elevation of the soil
exercises as decided an influence on the English race as it does on the native races of
other climates and soils.
The great, striking, practical fact which the Inquiry into the Mortality of Cholera
in England has elicited, is the influence of slight degrees of elevation. In the vast
population of London it is rendered evident. In the part of the parish of Lambeth
near the level of the Thames, the cholera, in ioooo inhabitants, destroyed 163 ; at
Kennington, 8 feet high, 90; at Brixton, 56 feet high, 55 ; and, finally, in Norwood,
the highest subdistrict of the parish, where the inhabitants are at least 128 feet above
the river, only 5 in ioooo: and this was not accidental. Elevation within these
moderate limits operated with the regularity of a general law ; and the influence of
elevation has been felt all over the kingdom. Everywhere the low cities have suffered.
Besides the trial which the population has gone through in the epidemic of the world,
there is another test of health: the longevity of the inhabitants of various places, and
the rate of mortality experienced from ordinary causes, and home epidemics. The
hundred diseases which atflict, derange, and destroy the frame of man acknowledge
various causes; camps and cities suffer certainly on low ground from one train of dis-
eases; in high localities starvation, density, impurities, generate other maladies which
are not less certainly fatal. The mortality of a dense, dirty city, on a hill, seated on
cesspools, and ill supplied with water, may be higher than the mortality of an open town
on the margin of low marshes; but the other conditions being equal the mortality in
the long run will be greatest in the low situation. The causes which make cholera,
plague, remittent fever, yellow fever, periodically fatal, are always in operation, and
furnish their daily quota to the hospital, the sick chamber, and the grave. Accordingly
we find on reverting to the Tables of Mortality, for the seven years 1838-44, that, as a
general rule, the mortality declines as we ascend the rivers. The majority of the
healthy districts are at a certain elevation above the sea.
Such is the variety of the soil of England, that tested by the rates of mortality
• — the children reared out of a given number born — the longevity of the inhabitants —
the freedom from common epidemics — or the immunity from cholera, healthy districts
are found in nearly every county. Large tracts of country are, how'ever, so much
healthier than the vest, that they may be justly called Salubrious Fields ; and it is
remarkable that here the finest races of animals are bred. The north districts
of Northumberland around the beautiful Cheviot hills, covered with grasses, ferns,
wild thyme — extending from the region of the heaths to the rich cultivated land
at their bases, touching each other, or intersected by narrow valleys; the districts
extending from the Tees over the North and East Ridings of York 10 Leicestershire,
Herefordshire, and parts of Shropshire ; some of the districts of Gloucestershire about
the Cotswold hills ; parts of Wales; Nortli Devon including Dartmoor and Exmoor;
the Surrey and Sussex hills with the Southdowns, have given names to the best breeds
of sheep, fowls, cattle, and horses in the kingdom. The Old Lincoln and the Romney
Marsh breeds of sheep attained a large size in the rich pastures of the drained fens ; but
they have either altogether given way to the other breeds, or been modified by the blood
of other races. The immense dray horse of London is bred in the fens of Lincolnshire
and Cambridgeshire. He is massive and powerful, but is slow, without mettle, without
action ; he does not step out, and is unanimated by the fire of the better breeds. The
mountain races of horses, cattle, and sheep are small, for the herbage is scanty, but
they are hardy, energetic, and intelligent. Their bulk augments on richer pastures,
and appears, with the loss of some of the higher qualities, to attain its maximum in
the drained fen land. The horse which in Arabia, Barbary, Persia, and England
attains so high a development, is said to degenerate on the low coasts of Africa and
Asia ; but we have no means of tracing the certain degeneration on unhealthy soils

either of these animals, of' oxen, or of sheep, in England. All that is well known
is the improvement in healthy districts, and the fatal effects of marshes and of the un-
healthy atmosphere of towns on the higher classes of animals.*
The dry and most inland are not always the healthiest regions of the country. The
salubrious fields are sometimes watered by running streams, and diversified by lakes;
the dew is abundant ; they are often veiled — not by infectious fogs — but by mists drawn
from the sky as it breathes over them ; the mountains rise over, the ocean rolls at
the distance below them, as on the coast of Sussex, North Devon, the western region of
Wales, extending under Snowdon and Cader Idris in a vast amphitheatre round Cardigan
Bay ; the lake land and moors of the North, rising between the Irish Sea and the German
Ocean. The land is sometimes heathy, but may be covered by the sweetest herbage, and
bees feeding on the flowers: the cereal grains, the hop, the timber, are often of the
finest quality; the animals are healthy, the native breeds are vigorous, and those fine
varieties are produced at intervals, which men of the genius of Bakewell, Ellman,
Tomkins, Colling, and O’Kelly, make the permanent stock of the country. Industry and
the army receive their best recruits from the population ; while they get their worst from
the people of the low parts of sickly towns. Agriculture has reclaimed many unhealthy
districts on the plains, so that a considerable extent of the cultivated land is now in a
stale of comparative salubrity ; and vast systems of drainage have subdued the noxious
fens, although carried out less efficiently than is desirable, and interfered with by mill-
dams on the rivers, descending like the Nene, from the inland highlands.
The population is never uniformly distributed over a country. The soil is washed
down into the valleys, and is followed by a fertile vegetation, which supplies animals,
and finally man, with food. The places of resort for the performance of public acts,
and for the interchange of commodities, have usually a central situation, easily acces-
sible along level roads, where water is abundant: accordingly almost all inland towns
of any magnitude are on rivers ; and as the commerce by sea increases, the population
is brought down to the coast, or to the point up to which the river is navigable by large
vessels. The seaport towns are frequently near the deltas of rivers on low coasts; and
higher up the rivers a large part of the people are often so insensible that they
sink or settle on the lowest ground, to avoid the labour and expense of living on the
better sites which are in the neighbourhood. Canals have also had a tendency to
draw the population down to low towns on their banks.
The population of England increased slowly in the seventeenth and in the first half
of the eighteenth century. The towns and seaports were not then places of great mag-
nitude, and their population was sustained by immigrants from the country — the high
nursing grounds of the kingdom. “ The supply of London alone,” says Davenant,
from King’s observations, “ takes up above half the neat increase of the kingdom.”
The burials greatly exceeded the christenings in London, and it is probable that of the
whole population of England only an insignificant portion was born in the low parts
of towns and ports. The great increase of the town population in the present century
is chiefly due to immigration; which has not only sustained the old proportion of
the population, but has introduced a great excess of healthy life from the high
inlands. The result is, that a large proportion of the population of England is now in
the low seaports, manufacturing towns, and cities. The population in 117 districts,
comprising tiie chief towns, was 6,612,958 in 1841, and 7,795,882 in 1851 ; the popu-
lation in 506 districts, comprising chiefly small towns and country parishes, was
9,301,190 m 1841, and 10,126,886 in 1851. A large proportion of the next generation
of Englishmen w ill consequently lie horn in town districts ; some of which are high and
healthy, while others, low, insalubrious, subject to inundations and to the incursions of
cholera, present many of the circumstances in which a degradation of race is inevitable.
So, while the drainage of the marshes, the cultivation of the soil, the sanatory mea-
sures in the old towns, and the diffusion of education have tended to promote the

Degeneration of Race in Unhealthy Places. xcvii
amelioration of the English race; the descent of the population to the low place-;,
which have in the last ten years increased twice as fast (2 percent, per annum), as the
healthy parts — the sudden growth of large mining and manufacturing places left un-
drained, ill-cleansed — the liberation of multiplying vagabonds and criminals who were
in the old times transported, cruelly destroyed by jail fever or hanged, have had a ten-
dency to increase the proportion of deteriorated organizations. Idiots and lunatics, who
are no longer plunged in cells for a short life, and other persons labouring under hereditary
diseases, are also increasing, probably from a similar cause. In addition to the inhabit-
ants of the old towns, which have always been fatal, several millions of people are
now in the seaports, in South Wales, in Staffordshire, in the mining districts of the
north, in the towns of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and in the dense districts of Lan-
cashire; where the health of parents is depressed, and the circumstances are often so
prejudicial to their offspring that of the coming generation five instead of two of every
ten born are destroyed in the first five years of life, and the survivors, with a few
happy exceptions, are left with shattered, feeble, febrile, and disorganized frames. The
countenance of the children is painful in these districts; and in all the places where
cholera has raged, presents the most striking contrast to the healthy, hardy aspect of
the children in salubrious fields. Their degeneration is as inevitable as the degenera-
tion of horses, oxen, sheep, in circumstances equally unfavourable.
All analogy, however, proves that no extensive or permanent degeneration of a race
can be accomplished in less than two or three generations. The great change is as
slow and insidious as it is certain. It is rarely perceived by its victims; who remain
rooted and benumbed on the spot unless they and the community are aroused by
sudden and terrible catastrophes. That angel which, it would seem, it has pleased the
Almighty Creator and Preserver of Mankind to charge with this dread mission is the
Pestilence. Wherever the human race, yielding to ignorance, indolence, or accident, is
in such a situation as to be liable to lose its strength, courage, liberty, wisdom, lofty
emotions — t lie plague, the fever, or the cholera comes ; not committing havoc perpetually,
but. turning men to destruction, and then suddenly ceasing, that they may consider. As
the lost father speaks to the family and the slight epidemic to the city, so the pestilence
speaks to nations in order that greater calamities than the untimely death of the popu-
lation may be averted. For to a- nation of good and noble men Death is a less evil than
Degradation of Race.
The acknowledged greatness of England has been variously accounted for; and it
would be illogical to refer it to any single circumstance. Among its primary causes
are, however, unquestionably to be classed the character and quality of the race of men
— derived in happy proportions from a Scandinavian, Celtic and Saxon, stock — and bred
mostly in pure air on the hills and grounds of moderate height supplied with
running water, or on the fertile plains and valleys of an island, pregnant with mineral
wealth and well placed for commerce on the frontier of the old and in the way to the
new world. Englishmen have derived weapons in industry and war from the coal and
iron mines ; but their strength and courage, in modern as in ancient days, came from
other sources. Their skill, industry, science, religion, justice, freedom, sense of duty,
love of country, and goodwill for other people, have all contributed to their success;
they were bestowed on them by nature, circulate in their blood, and beat in their hearts.
No race of men, living in maremmas, marshes, deltas, low sea-coasts, low river-
sides, could have acquired or wielded the Power of this Empire.
In the ten years 1841-50 more than 744,809 children were born in seventeen port
districts, six inland districts, and eleven districts of London on the south side of the
Thames, where cholera destroyed 26258 lives in 1849; and it is probable that more
than one-fourth part of the next generation of the English race will be born and
bred in insalubrious places, which must in the long run induce degenei acy. The
proportion of such births is rapidly increasing. Is it not time, then, to take heed ?
Are we not on the verge of a great calamity ? This question is more than a
question of life and death for the people. If degeneration should extend, and large
numbers of the English race be divested of its noblest characteristics, their recla-
mation would be an arduous if not impracticable undertaking. For while nature

in time supplies a loss of numbers, it is difficult by the most consummate art in
favourable circumstances, to retrieve the loss of generous qualities. How few genuine
instances are there of the regeneration of a fallen man, class, or nation?

Great Britain enjoys undoubtedly many advantages over the Babylons of the ancient
world, and the decayed maritime city-states. Extensive habitable highlands and fertile
fields must always be the birth-place of a majority of its children. Its population and
power can never be circumscribed within a single city or within the low ports of an
alluvial coast ; and it is surrounded by the refreshing sea. The vast populations which
have recently settled in bad localities may almost invariably find in the neighbourhood,
sites at elevations which in these latitudes cholera does not climb. With wealth, in-
dustry, and science at command, it is still possible to drain, and supply with pure water
and a purer air, districts as low as Southwark, Westminster, Liverpool, and Hull;
thus disarming them of much of their fatal power.
But malaria begets apathy. The unhappy inhabitants of unhealthy places dis-
regarded statistical calculations — the counsels of their medical men — the analogies of
nature, and the results of experience. The wan looks of their children, and the mul-
titudinous Voices of their Dead did not move them. The Community was also in the
wrong ; for the laws left them without warning, punishment, or effectual assistance.
Then Cholera came ; and in two heavy visitations carried off’ more victims than the
United Kingdom has lost in many wars. It may, if nothing is done, after a season
return, for it still reigns in India-t But let these human sacrifices suffice. The great
Sanatory Reforms which will shield the country from pestilence, while they save the
lives of thousands, will prevent the degradation of successive generations; and promote
the amelioration and perfection of the Human Race.
The organic matter and the water of a country are constantly carried from the high
grounds down to the sea. The water, by simple evaporation, and a large part of the
organic matter by conversion into volatile ammonia and carbonic acid gas, are raised
and redistributed through the atmosphere over the world ; but the incessant aid of
living beings is required to sustain the equilibrium. Sea fish and sea birds live on
the residual spoil. And that man may fight against the eternal force of gravitation,
and carry up and fix the falling matter on the High Places of the earth, these have
by their salubrity been especially designated for the sites of a larger portion of his
great works, his dwellings, and his cities: but a rank soil, and immediate com-
mercial facilities, have too often led him to dwell near the low estuaries of the sea.
Our life is fleeting ; a generation soon passes away. But the economy of nature is
the embodied wisdom of God, and His operations extend through an endless series of
countless ages. The existence of the present living races has been rendered possible
by processes and formations in the earliest geological eras; and the remotest
generations of men are indissolubly connected in one immortal race, susceptible of
an indefinite, glorious development. It should not, then, excite our surprise that in the
vast arrangements of nature the conditions of well-being and of happiness should

Organic matter must be carried to the raised ground and high lands by man. There he
must dwell. In fulfilling this law he escapes from the terrible pestilence, retains his
health, exalts his race, and has the fairest opportunity of recovering that Divine Image
after which he is continually aspiring.
CONCLUSION.
The history of cholera, and the knowledge which we have acquired of the circum-
stances in which pestilences are fatal, suggest some useful practical rules and works.
(x.) Persons who have the means may, by an early removal from an infected, dis-
trict, always find safety in such salubrious districts, as the tables show, had deaths
neither from diarrhoea nor cholera in the year i 849. The sportsman on the moors, and
the people near the river sources of the country, in the first week ol September, when
the cholera killed 2157 persons in London and 4991 persons in other places, were in
those high situations in no danger whatever of an attack. Many people left London
and went, as usual, to the sea-side. This was an error : sometimes the disease within
them was developed on the low land ; sometimes they were attacked, not only in the
towns, but in the villages on the coast.
(2.) Strangers who can avoid it should not visit a town in an epidemic. They appear
to be peculiarly liable to an attack. Persons whose duties confine them to an infected
town will find that removal from districts in which the epidemic is raging, to high, clean
districts of the same town, insures a great degree of immunity.
(3.) In outbreaks, where it may be necessary to move large numbers of people, they
should be sent to high, dry ground, where good water can be procured. Clean
ships generally find safety by going out to sea ; armies , by removing from the camp in
which they are attacked, and encamping on high ground.
(4.) High places are also generally safe asylums from plague, yellow fever, remittent
fever, and ague. It is necessary in the epidemics, as it is in cholera, to keep away from
marshes and rivers in the lower parts of their course, and to obtain water, if possible,
from unpolluted springs.
(5.) Armies sutler more from cholera on march or immediately afterwards, than they
do in station. Many instances are adduced from Indian experience by Mr. Orton ; and
the fact is placed beyond doubt by the statistical analyses of Assistant-Surgeon Balfour.*
The encampments and marches of the Indian armies lie often by rivers, on low grounds.
Cholera found the Marquess of Hastings near the margin of the Sinde, in Bundlekund, on
November 7, 1817, and destroyed in one week 764 fighting men, and some thousands of the
camp-followers of the grand army ; it ceased alter the 19th, when he crossed the clear
stream of the Betwah, and encamped upon its high and dry banks at Erich. f Colonel
Pearse had been marching, in 1781, on the sea-coast six days through “ sand and sea
water,” when his 5,000 men were “ attacked with inconceivable fury,” and the road was
strewed with the dead in the first well-recorded epidemic of Asiatic cholera. J
* See some good observations on the movement of troops, in the “ Statistics of Cholera,” by Assistant
Surgeon Edward Balfour. He shows, that of the native soldiers of the Madras army, 32 died of cholera
in cantonment, 86 when marching, to an average strength of 10000. The attacks were respectively 85
and 200 in 10000. l)r. Lorimer's Reports show that the troops were more frequently attacked on long
than on short marches : thus, the troops in 219 marches of 20 — 40 days were attacked 39 times ; while
in 14 marches of 100 — 120 days they were attacked 7 times. If we take 100 marches as the basis, they
were attacked 18 times in about 30 days, in the one case; while in the other case they were attacked
50 times in about no days, that is. at the rate of 14 times in 30 days. This is no proof that fatigue
increases the liability to attack; it only proves that, 011 the long marches, the men are exposed a longer
time to the causes of the disease.
Mr. Balfour would assuredly expect more men to be wounded in a battle of three days, than in a
battle of one day’s duration.
It would be a great advantage if soldiers in the field could sleep on raised camp beds.

I Algiers is as fatal to the French as India is to the English soldier; for the annual mortality was,
as M. Boudin has shown, in his valuable papers on Algeria, and “ Statisque de l’Armee,” 7-58 per
cent, in 1837-46, or four times as great as the mortality (i-86 percent, in 1842-6) in France. The
mortality was as low as 4'5 in x 83 8, and as high as 14-1 per cent, in 1840 : it varied at the different
c Travellers. Quarantine.
If an army had been marched through or encamped on the low streets of Southwark
south of the Thames, in August 1849, it would no doubt have suffered severely from
cholera ; while it might have been moved down the high roads north or south of London
with impunity. The danger from pestilence of every kind is diminished by keeping
troops on high ground : they often lose their strength, and perhaps some of their courage
as well as health, on low ground near rivers and marshes ; which, judging- by the event,
notwithstanding some advantages, make as bad lines of defence for armies as they do
places of refuge for feeble nations, who only survive and permanently resist in the hills.
The Walcheren expedition is an illustration of the fate of military operations on the
deltas of great rivers, or on the low islands at their mouths.* *
The Peninsular war offers an example of a different kind : our troops suffered severely
on the Guadiana: but the earth fought for the English on the high lines of Torres
Vedras ; and against Massena in the humid plains below until he retired to Santarem,
and finally retreated with the loss of 40000 veterans. The French army remained
starving for five winter months, in the midst of marshes ; and the disastrous incidents
of the retreat showed that they there lost many of their finest qualities. f They began
the retreat with 10000 sick.
(6.) Travellers in unexplored countries should not rest on low, swampy spots; they
have the best chance of preserving their health and the health of their horses and cattle
by passing the nights on high ground, in the neighbourhood of springs, or near small
rapid rivers. The two Landers, after Captain Clapperton, by adopting this course,
landing at Badagry, and, as their map and journal show, keeping on the high grounds,
arrived at Yaouri, and both succeeded in descending the Niger alive. ij; An attentive
examination of journals of travels establishes the value of this rule.
(7.) Intercommunication. It does not appear that the Quarantine has been of any
avail in cholera. But the arrangements of all the lower classes ol vessels are far from
satisfactory ; and the circulation of dirty pestilential ships like the “ Eclair,” from low port
to low port is not unattended with danger to the health of the community. A sanatory
maritime police is therefore indispensable ; into which it would be advantageous to
convert all the quarantine officers of Europe. The futile, superstitious practices of the
lazarettos are as contemptible in the eyes of science as they are injurious to c®mmerce.§

Generals, shows that the French had become alive to the danger of encamping on low grounds : —

venoms, as well as vermin and vice, to lodging-houses, workhouses, and gaols over the
country. This peculiar and degraded race can only be dealt with by special measures.
(8.) Food. The temperate use of sound meat, bread, rice, potatoes, grapes, apples,
and other fruit for food — with exercise — and sweet water, beer, cider, wine, for beverage,
are excellent preservatives before and in times of pestilence. The first great epidemic
of cholera in India was preceded by the failure and deterioration of the rice crops;
and in England the large importations of grain for three years before 1832 and before
1849 show that the home crop of food had failed, and suffered in quality. The vege-
table acids and other compounds in fruits are an essential part of food: that the want
of them causes scurvy, undermines the general health, and prepares the way for
the zymotic diseases, is proved by the experience of the Navy, and by the most
decisive observations.
The exemption of Herefordshire from cholera is evidence that cider , notwithstanding
the popular prejudice, is a much safer beverage in the time of an epidemic than the
spirits which were so largely consumed during the time of cholera in the places where
it was most fatal.*
(9.) Water. The precautions to take against cholera, in regard to water, are well
stated by Dr. Snow ; and they are of so simple a nature that, considering all the facts, no
person can prudently neglect them.f
(a.) Water into which sewers flow, or which is navigated by persons living in boats,
or which is any other way contaminated by the contents of drains or cesspools, should
be entirely disused.
[To warn any class of men against the use of unclean excremental water, even filtered,
may appear useless. But it is now known that it enters into the supply of some of the
principal cities of Europe, and contaminates the eau sucree of Paris as well as the
house water of London. The disagreeable revolting nature of this truth has probably
been a cause of its suppression, and the consequent perpetuation of an insufferable
nuisance.]
(b.) Hand-basins and towels, with sufficient water, should always be in readiness in
the sick person’s room, where every one should observe strict cleanliness: nurses and
other people should invariably wash their hands before touching food.
(c.) The healthy should be separated from the sick, and be lemoved to another abode
when they have no place but the sick-room in which to prepare and take their
meals.
id.) Soiled linen should be immersed in water until it can be scalded and washed ;
for if it should become dry the matter might be wafted about in the form of dust.
[The washing of the linen of cholera patients in the ordinary way is apparently not
unattended with danger.]
The sanatory value of pure water, as well as the danger of habitually using water
holding organic matter of any sort in solution, has been known from the earliest period.
Instinct and science hallow springs and streams of living water. It is a difficult
engineering task to place an adequate supply of fresh water within the reach of every
householder in the large towns : but the task is of such vital importance that it cannot
be neglected ; and the mission of bringing it within the range of the municipal insti-
tutions of London, Paris, and every city, is too beneficent to be overlooked by
statesmen. The quality of the best water is only to be discovered by experience;
* It lias been shown, in the Lancet of January 31st, 1852, that the pickles now on sale in London
contain copper solutions, which, taken in considerable quantity, induce attacks somewhat resembling cho-
lera. £- In the whole of 16 different samples of pickles analyzed for copper, that poisonous metal was
discovered in various amounts: 2 of the samples contained a small quantity ; 8 rather much ; 1 a con-
siderable quantity; 3 a very considerable quantity; in 1 copper was present in highly deleterious
amount ; and in 2, in poisonous amounts,” The vinegar was weak, and adulterated with sulphuric acid.
These analyses of the common articles of food are a great public benefit, and will promote public health
by increasing the vigilance, skill, and honesty of manufacturers and traders. Pickles, properly made,
are wholesome articles of food ; and much of their discredit is 110 doubt due to the adulterations so ably
exposed by the Lancet.

and may be learnt with sufficient accuracy from analyses of the waters of the salubrious
fields.
(io.) Refuse. Water, vegetables, hay, grain, cattle, food of every kind, worth many
thousands of pounds sterling, are brought from the country every week into the towns
of the kingdom. The consumption of this matter by men and animals destroys a great
part of its value: and the practice has been (i), to throw the refuse into the streets;
(2), to deposit it in cesspools; (3), to wash it down the sewers into the rivers. The
third is the modern practice in England ; and where the river water is not used, is, in
low towns, the least evil. But it has these intolerable disadvantages: that the sewers
invariably emit poisonous vapours, that the rivers are polluted, and that the organic
matter is thrown away. It becomes, then, a great question whether, by the use of
ashes, peat charcoal, or some other stuff, a modification of the old system of nighlmen,
mechanical arrangements, and the use of the railways and canals, the manure of the
towns may not be returned to fertilize the fields of the country in the place of guano ;
for which it is found to be an adequate substitute.*
(ti.) Air, not stagnant — sweet, pure, and dry, rather than moist— is the healthiest ;
and is sometimes a preservative against pestilence on ground otherwise unfavourably
placed and watered : but pure air and water are almost inseparable, and conversely so
are impure air and impure water. Lancisi lays it down as a physiological axiom :
ubi bonce sunt aqux, ibi bonus, ubi mala:, malus itidem est a'er.\
The air of London and of many of the large towns of the island, is moist and
foggy. The low situation of parts of the ground, and the vast extent of the evapo-
rating surface of the rivers, often warmer than the air, are the causes of the excess of
fog. No water should, therefore, be thrown artificially into the London atmosphere.
Fountains in damp places are evils. Lakes lying between mountain ranges, beat by
the impetuous winds, and traversed by rivers, as Lake Leman is by the Rhone, are
beautiful and salubrious. The latter qualification, at least, must lie refused to stagnant
waters in low situations. It is true that a strong stream of fresh w'ater, discharged
through the lakes or ponds in the London parks, if they were made so shallow as not
to require the intervention of the Humane Society, would keep the water sweet;
but the moist London atmosphere requires drying; and might be very advantageously
deprived of the damp supplies from the waters in Regent’s Park, the Serpentine,
and a considerable portion of the bed and muddy banks of the Thames.
(12.) Earth. If it is important that travellers, armies, and all moving bodies of men
should avoid damp, low grounds, it is evidently of still greater importance that the
habitations of a people should be raised on dry, drained land of a certain elevation,
washed by rains, and ventilated by the breezes of heaven. The sites of many English
towns are unexceptionable ; they lie beautifully on the slopes of hills against the sun ;
the spires of their churches stand out against the sky. The sites of other cities and of
parts of nearly all are, as we have seen, singularly bad, and should never have been
selected for building. Sites of towns are as much a matter of public concern as lines of
road, canals, or railways ; and legislation could not be more advantageously employed
than in directing and facilitating selection. The present law of settlement, and the
mixed, complicated, uncertain tenure of land, interfere seriously with the choice of
* One of the most distinguished Physiologists of the day, inspired, probably, by the grand simplicity
of the mechanical arrangements of the human body, has sketched the project of a circuit railway and
cloaca within the borders of the Thames, by which “ the same railways which bring cattle and corn
from our fields, should Ire made to restore them in their changed form of manure." It is impossible that
the travelling and the traffic of Loudon can long be carried on through the streets, which are obstructed
by waggons and slow omnibuses. The completion of the outer railway circuit, which now runs from
Chalk Farm to lllackwall, with the erection of the second proposed circuit round the embanked Thames,
and a due number of anastomosing branches — would provide a free circulation of passengers and goods
all over London; while the night trains would afford facilities for collecting and re-distrilmling every
kind of refuse over the country. It is relatively less difficult (that is, less expensive to each individual)
to provision or to execute public works for a vast metropolis of two and a half millions of people, organized
municipally, than it is to perform the same offices for smaller towns. But ordinary professional minds,
occupied with details, shrink at the magnitude of combined operations which they have never contem-
plated on the grand scale ; and it is from without that they often receive their mission and inspiration.

ground, and exclude the people from many of the best sites in the immediate neigh-
bourhood of the places in which they dwell. This evil may be remedied. The
railways now offer extraordinary facilities for distributing the population over a wider
area ; and as the canals and navigable rivers have drawn the population down, the
roads, stations, and warehouses, kept as high as is practicable, may counteract this
tendency, raise people to a higher level, and at once facilitate drainage and the appli-
cation of the sewage to agricultural purposes.
The higher districts of Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent, immediately around London,
are as healthv as any in the world ; so that a moderate extension of the building area
in the right direction, would be sufficient to secure salubrious sites. The cost of con-
veyance and carriage would be speedily compensated even to artizans by their increased
health and energy; their children would be saved from death, disease, deformity,
vice, drunkenness, degradation, the prolific fruits of malaria. They would be suscep-
tible of religious and intellectual culture ; which, in their present dwellings, is made
difficult for the children of good and worthy workmen.
The houses in England and Wales amounted to 3,117,182 in 1841, and to 3,433,859
in 1851 ; the increase in the interval was 316,677, in addition to those, which were
built to replace decayed and destroyed houses; so that in the towns of England the
selection of building sites is a question constantly open.
(13.) In the Colonies the choice of sites for new towns is a matter of primary im-
portance. The sites lying most conveniently for commerce are often low and insalu-
brious; but as low shores are more subject to inundations, earthquakes, pestilences, and
the influences that deteriorate the English race, the tempting facilities which they offer
should not weigh against the enduring advantages of high healthy lands. Regard must
of course be had to defence, commercial convenience, and fertility of soil ; but in
taking possession of new countries, the proper course would appear to be to ascend the
rivers sufficiently high to secure vigour of race, and then gradually to descend towards
the deltas, draining and cultivating the land on the way. The rule is the result of all
our present investigations ; it is quite in conformity with the traditional course of the
primaeval races. The example of Holland, of America, and of parts of England, shows
that low fen and marsh laud is habitable ; and with efficient drainage, it is probable
that, if thinly peopled by a race well fed and naturally hardy, neither disease nor dege-
neration would go beyond a certain point, quite compatible with a comfortable if not
a very spiritual and exalted existence. A moderate elevation in temperate climates is
a protection against many evils ; as cholera has shown in London.
(14.) Climate. Long experience alone can ultimately determine what climates are
healthy ; and every locality must be ultimately judged by the test of such a calculation
as has been applied to the districts of England and Wales. But analogy justifies the
inference from experience, in some cases brief and imperfect, that in parts of Canada, the
United States, South America, New Zealand, the Isles of the Pacific Ocean, Australia,
and Southern Africa, the English race retains the energy, which it invariably loses in
two or three generations on the low tropical lands of the West India Islands, of the
West Coast of Africa, and of Southern Asia ; where much of the best blood of England
has been sacrificed without establishing permanent settlers, making any evident impres-
sion on the native population, or producing any lasting fruits. Near the spot which
has, for many years, been the centre and the capital of the imperial pow er in India the
devastating epidemic cholera was generated, which has twice ravaged these islands,
and twice encircled the world. The average mortality of the English troops in India
has hitherto exceeded 5 per cent, annually. The removal of the European population
from the low to the high land, railways, vast systems of drainage, and the steady pro-
secution of the sanatory measures which have been commenced, are inquired to justify
the credit which the Government of India has latterly obtained for enlightenment and
beneficence.
(1 5). The Medical Profession. The development of the public health is a science
and an art. The true doctrines have not only to be discovered but to be taught ; not
only to be taught, but to be inculcated, in season and out of season. It is the
office of medicine to raise men up to a high standard of health, and not merely
civ The Medical Profession.
to heal the sick. Under this head a passage in the London Weekly Return of
September 15, 1849 — one of the last pages in the Journal of the Pestilence., — may
be quoted ; which, while it does the medical profession no more than justice for their
conduct in the epidemic then subsiding, expresses the high character of their duties.
“ No city, perhaps, ever possessed such an efficient body of medical men as are
now practising in London. During this epidemic they have performed services
which in any other field must have won the highest honours ; combating the disease
night and day in the most pestilential quarters, on much more settled principles than
the public might be led to suspect from certain discussions at the medical societies.
And their office has been discharged with so much kindness as to deserve the gratitude
of the poor; instead of drawing down on their heads the charges with which the
physicians of other countries have often been assailed by the populace. Nearly all the
sick have been seen by these practitioners; yet 12837 persons have already died of
cholera in London. How is this? The medical force will be found to have been
employed at an immense disadvantage. It is called into action at the wrong end of
the malady. Inquiries prove that while medical advice is generally sought in the cha-
racteristic stage, it is seldom obtained in the premonitory stage when the power of
medicine is decisive; and to that earlier and still more important period preceding
the premonitory stage which is prevented as easily as cured, medical practice has had
little or nothing to say. Cholera here also only shows in high relief what exists in
ordinary circumstances. Medical men rarely, if ever, treat the beginnings of diseases;
and are scarcely ever consulted professionally on the preservation of the health of cities
or families. The art of preserving health is taught in no regular course of lectures at
any of the great schools of medicine in the United Kingdom. Yet the classical
sanatory works of Pringle, Lind, Blane, Jackson, Johnson, and Martin have been
framed from observation in the British navy and army. In the science of health there
are more exact demonstrable truths than in the science of disease; and the advantage
of ‘prevention’ over ‘cure’ requires no proof. In the Cyropsedia of Xenophon
physicians who only treat the sick are compared to ‘ menders of torn clothes,’ while
the preservation of health is declared a noble art worthy of Cyrus himself. Yegetius
speaks in similar, Jackson in stronger terms, but perhaps unjustly; for if it is godlike
to save many from suffering and to carry them in healthy life up to the natural term
of existence, it is a worthy occupation to rescue a few from the arms of death or
incurable infirmity. But the preservation and the restoration of health are parts of one
science ; and if, as has been done by the City of London and by Liverpool. Health Officers
be appointed in all the districts of the kingdom, the art of preserving health will be
studied bv a high order of men well paid by the public ; and ultimately, with tin
increase of their remuneration, the diminution of sickness, the disappearance of
epidemics, immense advantage to the public, — the whole medical profession may devote
themselves to the preservation and development of the vigour of the human faculties,
instead of bein» tied down to the treatment of the sick and dying. ‘ And this,’ Lord
Bacon says, after his great survey of learning, ‘ we hope might redound to a general
good, if physicians would but exert themselves, and raise their minds above the sordid
considerations of cure ; not deriving their honour from the necessities of mankind, but
becoming Ministers of the Divine power and goodness, both in prolonging and
restoring the life of man ; especially as this may be effected by safe, commodious, and
not illiberal means, though hitherto unattempled. And certainly it would be an
earnest of Divine favour if, whilst we are journeying to the land of promise, our
garments, those frail bodies of ours, were not greatly to wear out in the wilderness of
this world.’ ” *

clxvi Mortality from Cholera in London at different Elevations .
Mortality from Cholera, 1849, in the Sub-Districts of London, arranged in the order of the
Elevation of the Soil above the Trinity High-Water Mark of the Thames.
[The results in this Table were obtained by dividing the Deaths from Cholera in 1849 by the population returned at the
Census (March 31st, 1851). No correction was made for increase of population lrom July 2nd, 1849, to March 31st,
1851; the mortality is consequently somewhat understated in the outlying Sub-districts. This does not materially
affect the general results.]

Note. — The numbers for the years 1640-46, 1593, 1603, 1625, 1636, 1665 are taken from the “Mortality of the Metropolis,”
by J. Marshall, Esq., (pp. 65 and 66). The deaths in 1849 are from the Weekly Return of the Registrar-General. No
deaths were returned in the first 11 weeks of the years 1593 and 1603 ; those in the corresponding weeks of 1606 are
applied to the latter year.
* These Totals are the sums of the several columns, and do not in some cases correspond witli those given by
Mr. Marshall in page 65.

Note.— Where the duration of premonitory Diarrhoea, as well as the length of illness from Cholera, was stated, the latter fact only was abstracted ; and in all cases where other forms of
disease were combined with those under consideration, the duration of attack was taken out with reference to Cholera or Diarrhoea only.

1 ; 2. Kensington ; Paddington, St. John.
Pop. 18737. — Choi. 23; Diarr. 39. — This Registrar’s
district lies west of the Edgeware-road, between the
Canal basin and Hyde-park, and includes the north
part of the Kensinglon-gardens.
Cholera appeared on June 28th, at 27 St. Peters-
burgh-place, where a solicitor died in 30 hours after
the attack commenced ; the next 2 deaths occurred
in July, on the nth and 15th ; in August 11 deaths;
September 7 ; October 2, the last fatal case on the nth.
Of the 23 deaths from cholera, 19 were adults, and of

i; 3. Kensington ; Kensington Town. Pop. 17369.
— Choi. 97; Diarr. 35. — On January 9th and 14th,
2 pauper children died in the workhouse of cholera,
after removal from Drouet’s establishment at Tooting.
By February 7th, the next 18 fatal cases occurred in
Jenning’s-buildings ; in this locality the epidemic
prevailed throughout the year, and 30 deaths from
cholera occurred; also 18 in the potteries, and 7 in
the Workhouse (which contains about 300 indoor
paupers) ; 7 in New-street ; 5 in James-street, Kensing-
ton-square, &c. The last case recorded occurred on
October nth, at Prince’s-place ; the majority of the
persons attacked were labourers and their families.
The following notes are selected from the Registrar’s
reports : —
In Ids return for the week ending January 20th, the
Registrar states that “23 children had been removed
from Drouet’s school at Tooting. Of this number 16
were attacked by cholera, but owing to careful treatment
only 2 cases proved fatal. Jenning’s-buildings is the
resort of the poorest class of persons (principally Irish).
In many cases there are seven or ten persons living
constantly in a single room.’’
“ On July 28th, at the potteries, Kensington, the son
of a tile-maker died of cholera in 42 hours ; this death
was attributed by the medical attendant to the malaria
arising from a pond of stagnant water, called ‘ the
Ocean,’ a receptacle for dead animals and filth of all
descriptions, and into which the adjacent piggeries and
privies have been drained for the last 20 years. This
enormous cesspool has recently become more dangerous
to health in consequence of the erection of St. James’s
National Schools, on that side where there is the'greatest
accumulation of the foul drainage. Several cases of
dysentery and diarrhoea have occurred in the neigh-
bourhood.”
“ On August 17th, at the potteries, son of a carman,
aged 2 years, died of diarrhoea. The most unhealthy
place in this district; it may be almost considered a
village of pig-feeders, without drains, and surrounded
on all sides with stagnant pools of water.”
“'On August 31st, at 3 Trafalgar-place, widow of
a soldier, cholera 36 hours. This woman was engaged
as nurse to a person who died of cholera on August
25th; it is stated she took home the clothes of deceased,
and washed them.”
“ On September 20th, at 5 Uxbridge-street, widow
of a labourer, cholera 3 days. This woman laid out
the body of a lady who died of cholera, took home
the clothes to wash, and placed them in a tub of
water under her bed.”

Choi. 27 ; Diarr. 14. — Forms the south-east part of
the parish of Kensington, bounded on the west by the
Kensington canal, on the south by the Fulham-road, & c.
Cholera was fatal in 12 hours, on July 9th, to a
music-seller’s widow, at Michael’s-place; the epidemic
was most prevalent in September ; the last death took
place at 5 Yeoman ’s-row, on October 2nd, duration
of attack 17 hours. In the Consumption Hospital, 3
deaths from cholera were registered ; and Ilrompton-
row, Sloane-place, Chapel-place, Yeoman ’s-row, &c.,
are localities in which the epidemic was fatal.
The annexed cases are selected from the Registrar’s
reports : —
“ On July 25 th, at 44 Chapel-place, a labourer, aged
31 years, cholera 13 hours. The medical attendant states
that 1 the deceased was annually subject to severe pre-
monitory diarrhoea ; on this attack, medical aid was not
employed until collapse set in. The locality (Chapel-
place) is damp and very badly drained. In conse-
quence of stagnated filth of every kind, fever and
sickness frequently prevailed.”
“ On August 14th, at 6 Sloane-place, widow of a
soldier, cholera 6 hours. Sloane-place is occupied by
the poorer classes ; it is in a crowded neighbourhood,
and unfavourable to health.’’
“ On September 13th, at 41 Chapel-place, a spinster,
servant, aged 45 years, cholera 26 hours. The deceased
had attended a person who died in the house of cholera
on the previous Sunday.”
“ On September 1 2th, at 5 Sloane-place, son of a
lawyer’s clerk, diarrhoea 8 hours, cholera 6 hours.
The informants stated that a cow-shed and pigs in the
locality render the place at times very offensive.”
“ On October 1st, at 13 Yeoman’s-row, a female,
aged 55, supposed to be a married woman, cholera 25
hours. The deceased had washed the clothes of a person
who died of cholera on 25th ultimo.”
“ On October 2nd, at 5 Yeoman’s-row, wife of a
journeyman baker, aged 63 years, cholera 17 hours.
This person, to clean her room, had made use of the

i ; 5. Kensington; St. Peter, Hammersmith.
Pop. 3565. — Choi. 8 ; Diarr. 8. — Includes the chapelry
of St. Peter, extending east from Turnham Green,
&c. On July 7th the first death from cholera, in 16
hours, occurred in New-street ; another on the 6th
August, in 14 hours, at Ravenscourt-cottage. The
two succeeding deaths, on the 16th and 19th, were

in the same house 2 deaths from diarrhoea also oc-
curred on the 19th. 2 deaths were recorded from
cholera at 8 South-street on the 24th and 28th August,
namely, a painter and his wife ; the last case registered
was on September nth, at St. Peter’s wharf. The
Registrar, in his cholera returns, describes the follow-
ing cases and localities :• —
“ On August 16th, at 12 Trafalgar-street, laundress,
cholera 12 hours, consecutive fever 3 days. The street
is almost without drainage, the water during three-
fourths of the year lying 2 or 3 inches deep in the
roadway. The houses are inhabited by very poor
people, and are dirty, ill ventilated, and badly
drained. This is one of the worst localities in the dis-
trict.”
“ On August l6tb, at 4 New-street, daughter of
labourer, diarrhoea 3 weeks. The neighbourhood in
which these deaths have occurred is traversed by a
creek from the Thames, the bed of which is covered by
a thick layer of most filthy mud, emitting a sickening
effluvium iri warm weather upon every recession of the
tide. The houses are mostly very dirty and ill ven-
tilated, and inhabited by several families.”
1 ; 6. Kensington ; St. Paul, Hammersmith. —
Pop. 9888. — Choi. 33 ; Diarr. 12. Includes the east
part of the parish of Hammersmith, bounded on the
south by the river Thames, and comprises Brook-
green, Shepherds-bush, &c.
On February 24th, a death from cholera occurred
at No. 8 Scott’s-cottages, Shepherds-bush, In the first
week of March a labourer and his son died of cholera
at 2 Scott’s-row, in the same neighbourhood ; the next
fatal case on July 12th, at Providence-place; the
epidemic continued to increase in August, and pre-
vailed throughout the month of September. On the
27th the last fatal attack was at the Lower Mall. At
No 7 Margaret's-row, Brook-green, 4 persons died, 2
dying on one day (August 28th); and at No. 5
Crafter-terrace, Latymer-road, the 2 children of a
potter ; in this terrace 4 other persons died of cholera.
The annexed particulars are selected from the Regis-
trar’s remarks : —
“Two deaths took' place from cholera in Scott’s-
row, Shepherds-bush ; the row consists of eight
cottages on the Uxbridge-road, inhabited by the
families of labourers, of whom some appear to be in
great destitution. The locality is swampy, badly
drained, and has some stagnant ditches. In the rear
of the cottages, at the distance of 25 feet, is a foul
ditch, into which a quantity of nuisance is emptied.”
“ On August 14th, at 1 Brook-green-place, son of
a labourer, diarrhoea one week, convulsions 24 hours,
A close, overcrowded, filthy street, chiefly Irish in-
habitants.”
“ On August 25th, at Albion-lodge, Brook-green,
gentleman, diarrhoea 5 days, cholera 16 hours. Regular
and temperate in his habits, living retired from business.
All the symptoms of malignant cholera appeared
about 2 hours after having been visited by bis medical
attendant for simple diarrhoea, when his case did not
present any particular feature. His appearance when
in health indicated obstructed circulation about the
heart, and bronchial disease,”
“ On August 28th, at Spring Vale Factory, Blythe-
lane, workman at a bleaching factory, cholera 7 hours.’’
“ Four cases of cholera which occurred at Mar-
garet’s-row, Brook-green, were characterized by ex-
treme severity.”
“Margaret’s-row consists of 10 or 12 cottages,
situated at the west end of Brook-green, open in front
to the common ; they are small and crowded ; the
owner lived amongst them in a large and commodious
house — his death from cholera was reported on
August 25th, at Albion Lodge. The first case oc-
curred on the 27th, at No. 7, a gardener; he had been
labouring previously under diarrhoea, collapse had set
in before he was visited. At 3 p.m. a girl about 12
years was attacked in the same house, collapse at the
very commencement, and at about 11 p.m. the mother,
who had been in attendance upon these two cases, was
likewise attacked,, and became immediately collapsed,
all on the same day. The cases at No. 8, which
occurred next morning, were still more rapid — father
and child ; the former worked at a bleaching factory
close by, left his house about 6 a.m. in good health,
had slept well, had neither been sick nor purged, nor
any other premonitory symptoms, and in about an
hour was seized with all the most malignant symptoms.
The child at home was seized much about the same time,
and died almost as rapidly. Within 80 yards of these
cottages there is a most foul, filthy, and offensive
ditch, containing a large quantity of black putrid
matter. The wind on Sunday and Monday was
directly over this ditch towards these houses.”
“ On September 4th, at 7 Margaret’s-row, Brook-
green, charwoman, died of cholera 2 days, typhoid
fever 3 days. Was in the same house where 3 people
died in the previous week.”
“ On September 6th, Broadway, a charwoman, cho-
lera 24 hours. Locality open : this person was in great
poverty, intemperate, and was nurse in a house where
cholera had appeared.”
“ On September 8th, at 1 Salem-place, Bridge-
road, wife of journeyman tailor, cholera 18 hours.
Husband, wife, and 3 children occupying one room ;

“ I find another death from cholera has taken place
in Bull’s-gardens, which makes the 12th, at least, from
this disease within the last 2 months — about the 25th
attack of cholera, and, I understand, about the 70th of
diarrhoea, in these gardens and the immediate neigh-
bourhood.”
“ In addition to the pigsties kept by the inhabitants
of the gardens, there is an open main sewer running in
front of them, from which most offensive exhalations
are constantly emanating.”
“ There were 3 deaths (children of the same family)
from cholera at 2 Lower Symon’s-street, described
as a poor and dirty neighbourhood, the house inha-
bited by 5 families (consisting of 15 persons) in 5
rooms, one of which has no chimney. Another person
lies dead of cholera in the same house, and another was
attacked, but recovered. The drains are in a very bad
state, the soil from the privy occasionally overflowing
the yard. A sewer-grating in front of the house is
occasionally so offensive as to oblige the inmates to
close the windows and street-door.”
“ On the 17th September, at 13 June-street, journey-
man cabinet-maker, aged 32 years, cholera 3 days.
Open sewer near the premises, from which noxious
exhalations proceed, to the great annoyance of the
neighbourhood. ”

The Registrar, in his remarks for the quarter
ending 30th September, states, that “ while [Asiatic
cholera has been so destructive in London, the mor-
tality in this district, from that disease and from
diarrlicea, has been so small that the total number of
deaths from all causes is scarcely above the quarterly
average. A few cases were removed out of the district
to the Mount-street Workhouse. To my knowledge, as a
medical practitioner, diarrhoea of an unusually severe
form has been very prevalent.”

A considerable increase of mortality arose from the
prevalence of cholera in the months of July, August,
and September, when 16, 34, and 46 deaths were re-
gistered. A few isolated cases occurred in the early
part of the year ; the epidemic then commenced on the
6th July, and continued to the 9th October, when the
last death from cholera occurred in St. George’s Hos-
pital ; in this Hospital there were several deaths
from cholera, of persons removed from localities not
within this district; during the first 12 days of Sep-
tember the cholera epidemic was at its height. On
the 1st August, a labourer and his daughter died at 3
Hanover-place, Thames Bank ; a son of the above, aged
5 years, on the same day died of cholera In St.
George’s Plospital, and at 4 Eaton-cottages 2 deaths

“ On the 16th August, at 1 Allington-street, wife of
a soldier, aged 45 years, had diarrhoea 2 weeks ago,
cholera 12 hours. The husband of deceased stated
that the smells in this house were very bad ; the land-
lord, to add to the evils, had emptied a cesspool into a
hole in the yard. A person died of cholera a short time
since in same house. The Registrar states that the
pumping of the contents of cesspools into the sewers,
thereby stinking a whole district, and the unvaulted
main sewers, are the adjuvants at all seasons to fevers.

oil' the soil from the privy in the yard runs under the
house and is defective.”

side. The houses consist either of 3 or 4 rooms, but
are situated so low that for the most part there is a
descent of one or 2 steps from the foot pavement to the
entrance passage. The drainage is extremely defective,
and several of the occupants complain of the nuisance
from the laundresses throwing their dirty soapsuds into
the street, leaving continually black stagnant puddles
along the gutter in front of these houses, even in the
driest weather.”
“On the 2nd September, at 5 Lower Garden-street,
widow of a general dealer, aged 41 years, cholera 17
hours. Cholera in this case is said to have been in-

faults are aggravated to a degree that cannot be de-

Extends on the east side of Crown-street and Tot-
tenham Court-road to Francis-street, to George-sheet,

Cholera prevailed with great severity in the Rookery,
Church-lane, Kennedy’s-court, and the following streets,
&c. : George-street, New Compton-streel, Dudley-
street, Tower-street, New-street, High-street, &c. 34
persons were fatally attacked by cholera in Church-
lane ; 5 of these persons died after being admitted
into the Union Workhouse. The first fatal case was
recorded on the nth July, at No. n George-street, a
hawker, aged 65 years, survived the attack 13 hours;
next case on the 20th, then the 22nd, 23rd, &c. ; by
the end of this month 8 deaths. Cholera destroyed in
August 36 persons, and in September 28; after the
13th this district was relieved from the epidemic, which
was at its maximum during the first 11 days of Sep-
tember; the greatest number in one day happened on
the nth ; all that part known as the Rookery suffered
severely. In the 3 months of July, August, and Sep-
tember, the deaths were 102 from cholera and diarrhcea,
whilst but 63 were referred to all other causes, inde-
pendently of those removed out of the district, when
attacked by cholera, and afterwards died in the Work-
house, situated in the south district of the parish. The
subjoined notes are selected from the Registrar’s reports :
“ Cholera and diarrhoea have been very prevalent
within the last fortnight in the neighbourhood
of Clmrch-lane (known as the Rookery) and the
courts adjoining, particularly in Kenuedy's-court, in
which there is a nest of 7 houses (crowded and dirty)
with otdy one privy, and the drainage defective. The
occupants have complained sadly for some time of the
stench arising from the drain, which frequently over-
flowed the pavement. The locality is both confined
and unhealthy, from the dirty habits of the Irish who
frequent it, and the drainage of the houses and the
ventilation of the sleeping-rooms very imperfect.”
The mortality from the prevailing epidemic in
Church-lane (the ‘Rookery’), among the poor Irish
families, has been excessive ; it first showed itself on
July 21st. There are 15 houses on each side of the
way, and there were 28 deaths, viz. : — In the house
No. 3 Church-lane, 3 deaths have been registered ; at
No. 4, 2 ; No. 6, 2 ; No. 7, 4 ; No. 8, 2 ; No. 15, one ;
No. 17, one; No. 18, 3; No. 20, one; No. 2r, 2;
No. 22, 2 ; No. 24, one ; No. 27, 3 ; and No. 28, one.
Many of the inhabitants of the lane have dispersed,
and the deaths of several have been registered elsewhere,
independently of those removed and dying in the work-
house.”
“ On September 1 6th, at 1 Carrier-street, daughter
of labourer, aged 7 years, diarrhoea (not certified).
The house is in a most filthy and wretched con-
dition, being close, ill-cleansed, overcrowded, and
ill-ventilated, and 20 persons slept in a small room
on the previous night. The staircase was covered with
filth, and the stench arising from the house was so
offensive that the Registrar was obliged to request the
mother to accompany him to the adjoining house to
register the death of her child. Carrier-street forms
a part of the 1 Rookery ’ of St. Giles.”
House-to-house visitation has been attended with the
greatest benefit and success, and many lives have been
saved by thus having early recourse to medical advice,

&c., are selected from the Registrar’s reports.
The six following cases occurred at King’s College
Hospital : —
“ On the 1st August, a bridle-cutter, aged 31 years,

court, Drury-lane. Had been to Greenwich 2 days
previous, to nurse her son affected with cholera.”
“ On the 31st July, female, aged 45 years, nurse at
the Hospital, cholera diarrhoea 2 days, collapse 10
hours.”
“On the 1st August, female, aged 28 years, wife ol
labourer, a nurse at the Hospital, cholera 37 hours.”

at 11 o’clock, p.m., on the 30th July, within 2 hours
of which time they were both attacked. The first died
at 9 o’clock, a.m., on July 31st, and the second at 3^
o’clock, a.m., on the 1st August.”
“On the nth August, a journeyman tailor, aged
50 years, disease of bladder 18 months, cholera 15

in the ward adjoining the cholera ward.”
“On the 12th August, a journeyman farrier, aged

of the cholera ward.”
The preceding 2 men had been in Hospital some
time for surgical treatment.
“On the 1 2th August, daughter of journeyman
tailor, diarrhoea one week, at 13 Bear-yard, Clare-
market. This is the third child this man has lost
within 1^ year. Bear-yard consists of stables, &c.,
with dung heaps.”
“On the 15th August, son of a compositor, cholera
degenerating into typhus, 4 days, at 6 Lower Searle s-
place, Liberty of the Rolls, formerly Shire-lane, a
closely crowded district, the drainage bad, accumula-
tion of filth in the kitchen, cesspool o"eiflows.”
“On the 20th August, at 175 Strand, master
grocer, aged 66 years, diarrhoea 12 hours, cholera 40
hours. Had been attending the funeral of some rela-
tives who died of cholera in the country, and was at-
tacked almost as soon as he got home.”
The backs of the houses in which the 3 following
cases occurred nearly meet; the smells from stables and
cowsheds are horrible. Costermongers go down these
narrow dark lanes near the river and throw about
stinking fish, decayed vegetables, and all kinds of
refuse. There is a drain in front of 4 Milford-lane.
which is kept covered in by the neighbours, the stench
from which is almost intolerable.
“On the 22nd August, at 4 Milford-lane, wife of

interments.”
“ On the 30th August, at 6 Cromwell-place, labourer,
aged 21 years, cholera 3 days. A low, dirty, crowded
court, opening into Little Shire-lane, and terminating
in a ‘ cul de sac.’ Drainage bad and offensive.”
“On the nth September, at 9 Lee's-buildings,
Liberty of the Rolls, daughter of footman, aged one year,
dentition cholera 4 days. The mother of deceased
ascribes the attack to the impure air of the locality,
and states that a month ago a cesspool (into which all
the drains of the buildings empty themselves), situated
opposite her door, was opened, and remained open
several days ; that since then many people in the
vicinity have died of cholera.’’
“ On the 13th September, at 45 Clement’s-lane, son
of policeman (deceased), cholera 2 days. His younger
brother died on the 15th, in King’s College Hospital.
An overcrowded, filthy lane.”
“ On the 16th September, at 14 White’s-alley,
Liberty of the Rolls, daughter of journeyman shoe-
maker (deceased), aged 21 years, cholera 2 days.
Cholera raged in this cluster of close, crowded, dirty
courts to an alarming extent. This is the adjoining
court to Lee’s-buildings, previously alluded to, situated
between Chancery and Fetter lanes,”
“ On the 17th September, at 10 Milford-lane, widow
of labourer, aged 49 years, cholera 2 days. Her hus-
band died of cholera a week before her ; and this is

“On the 25th September, at 2 Kingsbury-place,
Liberty of the Rolls, adjoining White’s-alley, wife of
coal-heaver, aged 36 years, diarrhoea 48_hours, cholera
36 hours.”
“ Jn this close, crowded court the houses have only
one window at the back, and that is on a staircase.
The privies, communicate with a cesspool in the centre
of the place, and smell dreadfully.”
“ For the 3 months ending the 30th September, the
deaths are not more than one-third above the average,
if the cases brought to King’s College Hospital from
other parishes were omitted. Diarrhoea and cholera
appear to have superseded, to some extent, other diseases
peculiar to the season.”
“ On the 1st October, at 10 Milford-lane, St.
Clements Danes, son of journeyman tailor, diarrhoea
7 days. Several fatal cases of cholera have occurred
in the same house. The privy is on the first door and
smells.”
“ On the 3rd October, widow of labourer, aged 50
years, cholera 2 days, secondary fever 2 weeks (post
mort.), at King’s College Hospital, from 29 Clements-

A great proportion of the above deaths were persons
removed into the Union Workhouse, after attacked by
cholera, from the Saffron-hill and St. George-the-
Martyr districts, belonging to the same Union ; and if
the 84 deaths in theWorkhouse were deducted, 26 would
be the number of persons who died of cholera in other
parts of this district; the number of pauper inmates
about 700; the cholera epidemic in the Union-house
ceased on the 22nd September, and in other localities
on the 20th September. In this district many persons

bad ventilation, and noxious effluvia arising from the
gorged state of the cesspools. Another child has since
died of cholera in the same room.”
“ On August 27th, at 4 Jane Shore-court, labourer,
aged 44 years, cholera 48 hours. A filthy, dirty place,

Fourteen deaths from cholera occurred in the“ Refuge
for the Destitute,” from February 15 th to the 29th, and 3
in other parts of the district. On March 1st one fatal
case in Hoxton-square ; from this period to July 19th
the epidemic ceased, but again reappeared at this date
in French-alley, Shoreditch ; by the end of the month
5 deaths occurred ; in August 92, in September 65,
and in October 21; the last on the 28th at Hoxton
House Lunatic Asylum. The epidemic suddenly
increased in severity on August 13th and continued
with little abatement to October 7th ; on August 24th
to the 28th the epidemic was at its height, on the 25th
9 persons died : the proportion of the sexes was 69
males, 133 females.
The great excess of women who died of cholera as com-
pared with men, in some degree arose from the female
mortality in the “ Refuge for the Destitute,” and also
in the Hoxton House Lunatic Asylum, in those
institutions, of 35 deaths, 33 were of females. In the
above Lunatic Asylum the first fatal case of cholera oc-
curred September nth,anditprevailedtoOctober 28th;
in this period 21 deaths from cholera and one from
diarrhoea; the following streets, &c., likewise suffered
from the epidemic —
Union-buildings and
walk,
Norfolk-street, place, and
gardens,
Paul-street,
High-street,
Bateman ’s-row,
Curtain-road,
Willow-street, walk, and

At No. 7 Willow-gardens, August 26th, a prin-
ter’s wife died of cholera in 8 hours, and the widow
of a brushmaker in 18 hours; and at No. 2 Charles-
street, Curtain-road, two persons died, the one 'in 12
and the other in 14 hours after the attack ; also
2 deaths from cholera at No. 10 Bateman’s-row. D iar-
rhcea was prevalent throughout the year ; in 42 deaths,

On February 15th, the two following cases occurred
in the Female Refuge for the Destitute : —
“A female servant, aged 19 years, diarrhoea 48 hours,
cholera 74 hours; a female servant, aged 17 years,
cholera 14 hours.”
“The above deaths occurred near the rear of the
building. The whole of the houses in that locality are
badly drained, and the cesspools overflow. The girls
had, at a former time, led irregular lives, but had been
inmates of the institution — the former for nearly five
months, and the latter for more than a year. Every
attention had been paid to cleanliness, diet, and other
comforts.”
“On August 13th, at 2 Crooked Billet-yard, Kings-
land-road, wife of hawker, cholera 12 hours. A place
filled with dirt, and the most extreme of poverty and
wretchedness.”
“ On August 12, at 153 High-street, wife of master
brushmaker, cholera 10 hours. In the rear of this house
is a slaughterhouse, and a very filthy court, of mise-
rable hovels with wretched inhabitants, all in a bad
state from dirt and effluvia.”
“ On August 24th, at 9 Pear Tree-court, charwoman,
cholera 19 hours. Very dirty and poor, being in-
habited by the lowest class of costermongers and sellers
of water cresses.”

gilder, cholera 6 hours. The deceased has been a very
hard drinker for several years past, up to the time of
his death.”

road, dustman, aged 45 years, cholera 18 hours. Very
badly drained and unhealthy.”
“On August 30th, at 15 Willow-walk, Curtain-
road, daughter of a cabinet maker, cholera 9 hours.
In the same house, sister of the above, cholera 24 hours ;
brother of the above, cholera and effusion on the brain,
3 days. The whole of this densely-populated locality
has suffered severely from the epidemic. The principal
cause appearsto be bad drainage, over population, and
poor occupants, with small houses let in tenements.”
“On September 11th, at 2 White Bear-gardens,
Kingsland-road, wife of labourer, cholera 26 hours.
In the same house, on September 12th, son of the above,
cholera 25 hours. A very poor, damp, ill-drained,

“ In front of Bridport-place there is a brickfield, sur-
rounded by a ditch of stagnant water, into which some
privies used by the brickmakers empty themselves.
The inhabitants of this neighbourhood have for a long
time complained of the offensive effluvia arising from
this cause, and consider it highly prejudicial to their
health. The drainage of the locality is generally bad,
being mostly superficial.”
“On August 31st, at 2 Pimlico-walk, wife of a
carman, exhaustion from cholera 5 days, 30 minutes
after delivery, child still-born. Drainage bad, the
houses small and crowded.”

most offensive smell, and very injurious to the health
of the inhabitants.”

The deaths of 91 males and 83 females took place
from cholera, which was very prevalent in the months
of August and September, when the deaths were 102
and 58 respectively. In July, 10 fatal cases, and in
October, 3. A single case was recorded on January
3 1st ; one in July, the next fatal attack occurred on the
10th, at No. 10 Hertford-street ; in this house, by the
1 6th, a compositor and 3 children died, and at No. 8
a plasterer and his wife on the 14th and the 21st.
About August 13th, a great increase of cholera was
perceptible; on the 20th the mortality was highest, and
prevailed with great severity to September nth; a
considerable decrease subsequently followed, and on
October 24th, the last case was recorded in the Shore-
ditch Workhouse. The deaths in the Workhouse from
cholera amounted to 103 and from diarrhoea 13, which,
if deducted from the number registered in this district,
leave 71 cholera, and 23 diarrhoea; each of the 6 sub-
districts formed within the parish of St. Leonard’s con-
tributed more or less to the above number of fatal cases
recorded in the Workhouse, where the epidemic was most
severe ; thus on one day, August 20th, 7 persons were
victims to this disease, on the following day 5, and in 12
days, from the 20th to the 31st August, 27 deaths were
recorded from cholera alone. The subjoined table

After 6 fatal cases of diarrhoea in the above Work-
house, the first case of cholera terminated in io hours,
on July 31st, the last on October 24th. Labourers,
cabinet-makers, shoemakers, mechanics, &c., with their
families, were sufferers to a great extent from cholera —
principally resident in
Hertford-street,
Windmill-street,
Canal-road,
Whitmore-road, Shore-
ditch,
Ely-street, and place,
James-street,
Wilmer-gardens, Kings-
land-road,

At No. 5 and No. 3 Windmill-square, in each of
those houses 2 persons died of cholera. At No. 7
William -street, a packer, aged 31 years, died of cholera
in 12 hours, and in 4 days after, his son also died.
The 2 daughters of a labourer, aged 7 and 8 years, died
of the epidemic on September 5th, after attacks of 15
and 20 hours respectively, at 53 Essex-street.
The following cases are selected from the Registrar’s
reports : —
“ On July 16th, at 10 Hertford-street, son of a
compositor, aged 9 years, cholera 10 hours. This
is the fourth victim in the same house and same
family. This street is without drainage of any kind,
not even to carry off the surface water ; this, added
to the intemperate habits of the father and filthy state
of the house, would be quite sufficient to engender
disease.”
“ On August 10th, at 5 Windmill-square, Canal-
road, widow of tailor, aged 63 years, cholera 29 hours.
Windmill-square is composed of eight small huts or
cottages, forming two sides, four on each, containing
two rooms on the ground, without any drainage.”
“On August 13th, at 3 Windmill-square, Canal-
road, wife of journeyman) cabinet-maker, aged 34
years, cholera 18 hours. All the rooms on the ground ;
very damp ; privies close to the doors, aud no
drainage whatever. In the same house, on the same
day, a daughter of the above, aged 9 years, cholera 3
days.”
“ On August 14th, at 13 York-row, Kingsland-road,
labourer, cholera 27 hours. The houses in this row
consist of 2 rooms, one over the other, very small and
damp ; smells from the privies in front at times very
bad.”
“ On August 13th, at 7 William street, Canal-road,
a packer in the City, cholera 12 hours. Drainage
into cesspools, and that has been stopped for some
time.”
£‘ On August 30th, at 15 Appleby-street, Pearson-
street, Kingsland-road, widow, a nurse, aged 60 years,
cholera one week. The deceased (as a nurse) was
employed to attend on a tradesman in Shoreditch
who was attacked with cholera. The day after his
death, she was seized with the same complaint and
brought home. Her own home clean, airy, and well
drained.”
“ In the workhouse, on August 31st, from 9 Bull-
court, Kingsland road, shoemaker, aged 26 years,
cholera 24 hours. A very close confined place, the
houses in general let in single rooms fur the accom-
modation of tramps, at 2 d. or 3 d. per night.”
The Registrar states that, during the 3 months end-
ing September 30th, —
“ The births were rather less than usual, owing to an
unusual number of still-born children, aud miscarriages
caused by fright from cholera.”
“On October 1 6th, at 29 Hertford street, daughter
of journeyman watchmaker, diarrhoea 3 weeks. Many
deaths occurred in this street in August. The in-
formant states, that nothing has been done as regards
drainage, nor even whitewashing the interior of the
houses, which are in a most filthy state.”

The mortality from cholera in this district was very
considerable; 117 males and 116 females were deprived

24 Old Castle-street ; in August 153, September 51,
October 8, and in November one, viz., on the 5U1, at
No. 3 Weatherhead-gardens. On August 12 th the
cholera epidemic suddenly increased, and was fatal on
this day to 12 persons; on the previous day one only
died, but on the 13th 22 persons were deprived of life,
on the 14th, 12; on the 15th, 7. From August 12th

During the months of July, August, and September,
the deaths from all causes exceeded the births by 145.
The Registrar, in his reports, describes the subjoined
cases and localities : —
“ On August 2nd, at 10 Turville-street, son of a coal-
whipper, aged 2 years, measles and pneumonia 3 weeks,
cholera 10 hours. Neighbourhood low, crowded, and
ill drained. A drain emitting offensive smells runs
under the house, which contains 30 inmates.”
“On August 3rd, at 20 Virginia-row, daughter of a
weaver, diarrhoea 6 hours, cholera 6 hours. A densely
inhabited street and low neighbourhood. There is an
excellent sewer through it, with scarcely any commu-
nication with the adjacent houses.”
The Registrar states, “ The fatal nature of the
calamitous visitation which has afflicted only a very
limited, though densely peopled portion of my dis-
trict, seems to point at human agency in the produc-
tion of the sad catastrophe. These'deatbs have chiefly
happened in a space of about 400 yards by 150. In
Turville-street there is a sewer, and a communication
from the privies thereto, but no drainage for the waste
water, which is uniformly thrown into the street. But
few deaths from cholera have as yet (August 18th)
occurred beyond the specified area, and there must be
some adequate cause for so singular a phenomenon.
The I2tb, 13th, and 14th of this month, will long be
remembered in this neighbourhood ; the outbreak of
this fatal disease being without any adequate prepara-
tion ; surgeons were wanted in many places at once ;
the hurried passing and repassing of messengers, and
the wailing of relatives, filled the streets with con-
fusion, and impressed on all a deep sense of an awful
calamity.”
“On August 24th, at 11 Old Castle-street, son of
doll-maker, cholera 3 days. A close, overcrowded,
and ill-cleansed street, with an excellent sewer, but
few communications therewith.”
The Registrar observes that, “ in the last1 fortnight, I
find that 99 out of 107 fatal cases of cholera and
diarrhoea have occurred in a space occupying less than
a tenth of my district. This portion of my district
is almost wholly without sewers, all fluids, whether
animal secretions or the waste of culinary or ablutionary
processes, being carried off by surface drainage ; it has
no proper circulation of fresh air, three-fourths of the
people are closely packed together, and from necessity
as well as habit, no sufficient cleanliness of person or
of habitation is generally observed. Moreover, the
cholera district is precisely the fever district of past
times.
“ On August 28th, at 7 Turville-buildings, daughter
of wadding dealer, cholera 4 hours. A close, confined,
crowded, and ill-drained court — the very type of
misery. This court is a small parallelogram, con-
taining 6 inhabited and 2 uninhabited houses, with no
backyards, and with an almost total stagnation of air
— the chief supply being perpendicular; no water laid
on, and the drainage being through a stone grating
in the centre of the court, having communication with
a sewer.”
“ On September 3rd, at 1 Maidstone-place, Old
Nichol-street, wife of itinerant musician, aged 35
years, cholera 2 days. A close, dirty, undrained court.
The third death in the same house — the family then
removed, and the father since dead.”
“ On September 7th, at 1 Gibraltar-walk, spinster,
aged 32 years, shoebinder, cholera 12 hours. A narrow,
close, and crowded street — not otherwise injurious to
health.”
The Registrar says, “ notwithstanding the abatement
of cholera in its original location, it is gradually creeping
over my district; in its progress discovering with ap-
parently instinctive sagacity every deficiency of pre-
caution,'every absence of the essentials to good health,
whether existing in a street, a house, a family, or an in-
dividual, and more rarely appearing where none of
the predisposing causes are known to exist. But whilst
there are no sewers in streets a century old, or no
communications into existing sewers from contiguous
houses; whilst houses remain contaminated with the
filth of years ; whilst the streets remain for days un-
cleansed from accumulating dirt ; whilst the free cir-
culation of fresh air continues to be impeded; and
whilst the daily supply of water of questionable purity
continues, from various causes, to be locally deficient,
so long may the periodical occurrence of such ap-
palling visitations as that which at this time afflicts
my district be expected.”
“ On September 1 rth, at 1 1 Cambridge-circus, daugh-
ter of labourer, aged 18 years, cholera 12 hours. In-
formant states that an offensive drain passes under this
house into a sewer full of fetid matter, and that across
the narrow street is a manufactory of lard or grease,
which, when melting, fills the neighbourhood with
noxious smells.”
“ On September 16th, at 4 Crown-court, Gascoigne-
place, daughter of journeyman bricklayer, cholera 8
days, typhus 6 days. A crowded court ; no drainage
for the 3 bouses within it, except into a small tub sunk
into the earth ; waste water carried out of the court,
which is low, and thrown into the gutter of the
adjoining street.”
“ On September 12th, at 20 Caroline-street, wife of
journeyman cordwainer, aged 38 years, cholera 3 days,
typhus 6 days. The third death in the same house,
said to be occasioned by fright excited by seeing a
cholera patient carried through the streets. The street
narrow and close, but not otherwise unfavourable to
health.”
“ On September 27th, at 7 Austin-street, daughter of
journeyman house-painter, diarrhoea 2 months. A
crowded, ill-cleansed, and undrained street, adjoining
Shoreditch churchyard.”
“ On September 27th, at 2 New Nichol-street, jour-
neyman weaver, cholera 24 hours. An overcrowded,
ill-cleansed, close, and undrained street.”
The Registrar, in his quarterly return of births and
deaths for the 3 months ending September 30th, states,
“ that out of 342 deaths, 208 were from cholera, and
27 from diarrhoea. The principal seat of this visita-
tion has been a very small portion of my district, and
which is in a very wretched state from defective
sewerage; has suffered much from the want of timely
sanitary arrangements. The following table shows
the principal seat of this fatal epidemic, the deaths
occurring in the House of Refuge at the Bethnal
Green Workhouse, of persons taken from this district,
are not included. In none of the other streets did

than this row of hovels, the state of which precludes the
possibility of a current of air. The dwellings consist
of a room or two in each, upon the ground, and
considerably below the roadway, without drainage, the
privies against the entrance, and water obtained only
from a single stand-cock for the supply of perhaps 20
families, each of 5 or 6 persons, huddled together in
these miserable abodes.”

is very good, but that on Thursday morning, the 6th
instant, they were emptying some privies in Austin-

on that day his wife was taken ill, and the child was
shortly after affected, and died of cholera. The wife
died of cholera on the 12th ; and a boy about 13 years

Many of the above neighbourhoods are close to a
tidal ditch, emitting pestilential effluvia. The Regis-
trar particularly refers, in the subjoined cases and de-
scription of localites, to this tidal ditch, at Jacob's
Island, as spreading destruction to the surrounding in-
habitants. One death by cholera is recorded in a vessel
lying off in the river Thames, on August 2 7th.
“ The 9 cases of cholera registered during the week
ending June 16th occurred on the banks of the tidal
ditch. Seven of them occurred within 50 yards of
each other. This ditch, formerly used as a mill-stream,
is now the receptacle of all kinds of filth. Putrid
fish in large quantities is frequently thrown in ; many
of the poor drink the water and use it for culinary
purposes.”
“ On August 10th, the 2 daughters of a labourer died
of cholera, in Bird’s-gardens. The father had just
recovered from cholera; on the nth the mother was

feet square, in a cottage containing 2 rooms, the
bodies of her children in coffins close to her bed. 1 his
cottage forms one of a group situate in Bird’s-gardens,
a locality principally inhabited by the lower order of
Irish, where numbers of pigs have been kept, with no
drainage and no water laid on ; one pump in the garden
from which land-water is drawn highly contaminated
by the surface drainage from several pigsties and pri-
vies (which are always emptied into the gardens) ; in
an opposite house a child is dying of cholera; diarrhoea
abounds. Seven cases in one house this week.”

“ Six of the deaths registered in the week ending Sep-
tember 1st occurred on the banks of the disgusting tidal
ditch, now rendered more offensive than ever, from a
great length of its narrow part having been covered in ;
nearly all the refuse from the very poorest houses having
accumulated at that part of the ditch near to the new
water pipes, and where, under the window of a typhus
patient, might have been seen the bodies of 13 dead
dogs and cats on one day, beside other offensive
matter.”

early next morning he was seized with diarrhoea; at
mid-day was under medical treatment, and died on
Friday.”
In reference to several deaths from cholera which
occurred in the Workhouse, the Registrar states that
“ nearly all were cases taken into the house after
the disease had made such inroad upon the patients
as to set medical skill at defiance, whilst upon the in-
mates themselves (although several have been attacked)
its effects have been comparatively trifling, not more
than two or three having died of cholera during the
prevalence of the epidemic. Up to this time the
Guardians caused handbills to be circulated through
the parish, containing directions to the poor inhabitants
where they may obtain medical aid, with instructions
on the best means for the prevention of disease, con-
cluding in the following terms : — ‘ In case of any poor
wayfarer or friendless person being attacked with
cholera, they will be immediately admitted, if brought
to the Workhouse.’ Hence the increase in the number
of deaths in this establishment.”
“ On August r4th, at n Windsor-place, Southwark
Bridge-road, son of builder, cholera 8 hours. This
death and another occurred in the same house, within a
short time of each other ; both were children, one 4
years, the other 5A years old, and the medical certifi-
cates represent both to have been ill 8 hours.”

journeyman carpenter, cholera 10 hours. Sister to the

“On August 13th, at 54 Surrey-street, wife of a
groom, cholera 19 hours. Cholera has proved fatal to
6 persons since July 29th, in Little Surrey-street.
The deaths have taken place in houses within a short

cholera 24 hours. Small houses inhabited by the poorer
classes. Green-street is a cross-street between Friar-street

slaughter-houses, a bone-boiler, and other similar
premises. The inhabitants of the surrounding neigh-
bourhood frequently complain of the effluvia emitted
from these places, but the street and slaughtermen’s

other parts of the district.”

fortnight since, but was fast recovei mg, when the
sudden illness and death of her husband produced
‘ relapse,’ which carried her off in a few hours.
House in a back-street, not very confined, also cleanly.”
“ On September 8th, at 5 York-place, Revel's-row,
daughter of journeyman printer, cholera n hours.
York-place is a crowded court ; its inhabitants, since
the epidemic has prevailed, have been very persevering
in washing the privies and small yards attached to
their dwellings, and this is the first death from cholera
in that spot.”
“On September 14th, at 18 Mint-street, widow of
journeyman carpenter, cholera 22 hours. Moved from

“ Three fatal cases occurred in Poplar-row, a close,
dirty court.”
“ On August 28th, at 47 George-street, Harper-street,
brushmaker, cholera 20 hours. In this house there is
always a most unpleasant smell, arising from a drain :
during last summer this man had 3 out of his 4
children die of scarlatina.”
“On September 21st, at the County Gaol, Horse-
mouger-lane, labourer, aged 19 years, cholera (inquest).
This is the first death from cholera that occurred in
this prison. The deceased was brought in on the
13th instant, and had resided previously in the neigh-
bourhood of Lambeth ; the number of prisoners about
170.”
The Registrar states that “ the most important local
causes are the very defective drainage, and over-popu-
lated and ill-cleansed condition of the habitations of
the poorer class. The supply of water is, in general,
tolerably good in quality, but very limited in
quantity.”
The other localities afflicted with cholera were —

“ On September 9th, at 8 Portland-street, daughter
of a smith, aged 4 years, cholera 24 hours. House

One fatal case of cholera at Whitehorse-street, on
February 3rd ; the epidemic subsequently broke
out on June 23rd, at Short-street, and continued, to
increase to July 31st, on which day the greatest
mortality occurred, namely 10 deaths; in this month
60 deaths from cholera were registered, in August 77,
in September 51, and in October one, on the 12th, at
56 Cornwall-road, a solicitor’s wife, aged 65 years. A
perceptible decline was observed after September 14th.
At No. 10 Mitre-place, Broadwall, the 3 children
of a labourer, within 3 days, died of cholera. At
No. 15 Eaton-street, a mother and son. At No. 60
Cornwall-road, on July 30th, the widow of a cooper
and 2 children; and on July 29th, at No. 11 Brad-

lowing streets, &c., cholera was most fatal —

Ten adults and 17 children under 3 years of age died
of diarrhoea. I11 the months of July, August, and
September, the deaths by the cholera epidemic ex-
ceeded the births registered by 53.
The Registrar, in his reports, describes the following
cases and localities : —
“ On July 25th, at 5 Bate’s-buildings, Broadwall
(inquest'), a shoemaker, aged 20 years, natural death,
cholera n hours. Bate’s-buildings is one of the
narrow courts in Broadwall, crossing the boundary
sewer. A younger sister died of cholera in July; the
mother was next taken ill and removed to the Work-
house, where she also died of cholera. The father was
in the Hospital during the period of the illness and
death of his wife and 2 children. Half the number
of cases of cholera have taken place near the sewers
which form the boundary of the parish.”
“ On August 27th, at 14 Whitehorse-street, a
lighterman, cholera 24 hours. There have been 3
deaths from cholera in this house.”
In his return for the week ending August 4th, the
Registrar states that “ during the week there has been
a great increase in the deaths from cholera. About
half the cases have occurred in the vicinity of Broad-
wall, Eaton-street, Whitehorse-street, Wootton-street,
&c. — places more or less subject to effluvia from bad
drainage ; the other half have occurred in all parts of
the district, without any apparent exciting cause,
beyond crowded rooms and, probably, indifferent food.
In his return for the week ending August nth, the
Registrar states that “the deaths from cholera, though
still numerous, are less than half the number of the
preceding week, viz., 34 and 15. As before, full half
the deaths have occurred in the locality of the boun-
dary sewer. As an additional proof of the influence of
the effluvia from that source on animal life, he had
ascertained that a cowkeeper, whose premises are close
to the boundary ditch in Little Duke-street, and whose
wife died of cholera on August 4th, has, during his
residence there, lost several valuable cows by death.”
“ On August nth, at 36 Windmill-row, daughter
of shoemaker, cholera 13 hours, collapse 9 hours.
Row ill cleansed and overcrowded ; filthy in the
extreme.”
“ On August 14th, at 20 Brad-street, an artist,
cholera 24 hours. The end of Brad-street where this
death took place is ill cleansed, and frequently one
mass of mud and water.”
“ On August 13th, at 12 Little Windmill-street, a
labourer, cholera 50J hours, collapse 14 hours.
This street is at the back of Windmill-row, and is
equally filthy and dirty. They are both chiefly
inhabited by Irish families and vendors of decayed
fruit, fried fish, 01 vegetables, the effluvia from which
effects the whole locality.”
“ On August 15th, at 3 Yictoria-place, Broadwall,
wife of labourer, aged 31 years, cholera 4 days, fever
one day. This place is comprised of 10 or 12 houses
built a few years ago, over and close to the sewer
which forms the boundary at the back of Broadwall,
into which the houses are drained. They are over-
crowded, every room containing a family.”
“ On August 15th, at 5 New-street, a single woman
cholera 7 days, typhus.”
“ In the same house, on August 1 6th, son of a smith,
scarlatina 4 days, cholera 4 days. The street is
narrow and densely populated. The houses are
inhabited chiefly by mechanics.”
“ On August igth, at 3 Isabella-place, Broadwall,
widow of bricklayer, aged 49 years, cholera 3 days.”
The Registrar states that “ Isabella-place is of ail others
the most filthy in this district ; the entrance is not
more than 4 feet wide ; there are 6 or 8 dilapidated
houses in it of 2 rooms each, all front, no air through
them, and each room containing a family ; a recess on
the left is the receptacle of all manner of filth, dust,
decayed vegetables, fisli guts, &c. The stench is
very bad at all times.”
“ On August 23rd, at 16 Cornwall-road, a widow,
aged 60 years, cholera 21 hours. This female attended
on a younger one, who died in the same house on the
20th. She subsequently trashed the deceased female’s
clothes, and was immediately after taken ill.”
“ On August 26th, at 6 Church-terrace, a gentle-
man, cholera 13 hours. This terrace faces the church-
yard, whieh is now so often opened for funerals that
effluvia must enter the surrounding houses, though
they are otherwise clean and open.”
“ On September 1st, at 9 Le Grand-place, daughter
of journeymau carpenter, cholera. The sixth death in
this place of 12 small houses.”
“ On September 7th, at 6 Little Windmill-street,
a coal porter, cholera 20 hours. Several deaths before
recorded in this most dirty street.”
“ On September 8th, at 30 John-streef, Cornwall-
road, a labourer, aged j 7 years, cholera. The mother
of this youth died in the same house on the 4th.”

rhoea were all of children.
The following cases are selected from the Registrar’s
reports : —
“ On July 26th, at 80 James-street, wife of shoemaker,
aged 34 years, cholera 18 hours. This spot lies quite
in a hollow ; it was built on very marshy ground, the
drainage is defective, and there are ditches partially
filled up, which often serve as receptacles for decayed
vegetables, stinking fish, &c. With few exceptions, the
deaths have occurred to persons extremely poor, residing
generally in one room, and in dirty narrow streets.”
“ On August 19th, at 35 Frances-street, Westminster-
road, son of labourer, cholera 9 hours. Densely crowded
with Irish, of dirty, intemperate habits ; a iong open
sewer runs parallel to it. Pigs, ducks, &c., kept in the
vicinity. Numerous have been the attacks of cholera
in this street, 9 of which were fatal.”
“ On August 29th, at 14 Apollo-buildings, son of
tailor, cholera 16 hours. This small spot abounds
with noxious effluvia. The privies are most offensive,
and the water scarcely fit to drink ; heaps of refuse
matter thrown about by the costermongers. Pigs,
horses, rabbits, and all sorts of animals are kept here.
The fish, vegetables, &c., in which the people deal are
at night frequently placed under the bed. There are
2 cats’-meat dealers in Apollo-buildings, the stench
from which is much complained of.”
“On September 2nd, at 16 James-street, daughter
of butcher, cholera 12 hours. The attacks and deaths
in this street have been more severe than in any other
part of this district ; it was built on a swamp — the
ditches formerly complained of are now filled up.”
“On September 8th, at 9 Thomas-place, Gibson-
street, son of chemist, choleraic diarrha?a 6 days. The
father of this child states : there are 3 gulley-holes
within 20 yards of each other in this street, the smells
from which are so offensive as to alarm the residents.
Thomas-place is a narrow, confined spot.”
“ On September loth, at. 12 James-street, bricklayer,
aged 33 years, cholera 16 hours. This is the 1 7th case
in this street. A pigsty and slaughterhouse at the back
of this house are much complained of.”
“On September nth, at 20 Jurston-street, son of
publican, cholera 8 hours. A very dirty, crowded
street, with a long open sewer behind it. This is a
child of Jewish parents. Although persons of that
persuasion are rather numerous in this district, it is the
first death from cholera amongst them.”
“ On September 12th, at 3 Grove place, son of la-
bourer, diarrhoea 7 days. Cholera broke out in this house
July 2 1st, attacking a female of 45 years ; thelandlady
(who attended) was attacked the next day at church,
and removed during Divine service; on August 12th,
a girl aged 14 suffered from vomiting and diarrhoea ;
on the 29th a female aged 24 years died of cholera ; the
same clay a child aged 8 was severely attacked, and
narrowly escaped death; the following night a boy of
4 had vomiting and relaxation ; the husband of the
landlady has also sufi'ered from relaxation; out of 11
inmates 2 have died, and 8 others had been attacked.
Grove-place is a most filthy spot, near the worst end of
James-street, where 17 deaths have occurred. There
is a bad smell in the house, which cannot be traced.
The rooms are very small, but not particularly dirty.”
“On September 19th, at 35 Hooper-street, son of
labourer, cholera 8 days. A long, narrow, densely
crowded street ; the dirtiest spot in the district, in close
connexion with filthy ditches, and surrounded by an
unwholesome neighbourhood, in which many deaths
have occurred ; inhabited by costermongers, &c.”
“On September 25th, at 17 Mary’s-buildings,
domestic servant, aged 25 years, cholera 13 hours.
Narrow, confined place ; had previously nursed 2
persons who died of cholera.”
The Registrar states that “ the deaths from cholera
and diarrhoea are far more numerous with females than
with males, after the age of 16. Until that age the
deaths were almost equally divided, viz., 56 males
and 51 females; but after the age of 16, when the
female becomes useful as a nurse, the deaths are 99
females against 50 males. The difference may arise
from 2 causes, namely, an advanced state of pregnancy
when the attack came on, and that females are almost
always the attendants on the sick, thus being confined
to the vitiated atmosphere of the room, and wearied by
night and day exertions, they are much more likely to
take the disease. Many females appear to have im-
bibed cholera in their unremitting attendance in the
sick chamber.”
“ On October 1st, at 14 Manners-street, wife of
sawyer, aged 40 years, cholera 12 hours. Attack came
on suddenly and violently; she had been nursing her
daughter, dangerously ill with consecutive fever.
Drainage good.”
In the same house, on October 3rd, daughter of
the above, aged 13 years, cholera 3 days, consecutive
fever 7 days.

appears,” says the Registrar, “that at No. 13, where
the first death occurred, the refuse of the house had
been allowed to accumulate in one of the vaults
(which is a very large one) for about two years, and
when removed last week the stench was almost into-
lerable, there being about two feet of wet soil covered
with maggots. The drains also had burst, overflowed
into the tank, and impregnated the water with which
tire houses were supplied. On the back ground, in
the distance, was an open ditch, into which nearly the
whole of the soil of Clapham runs.”
Fourteen deaths by cholera occurred in 5 houses of the
above terrace in about a fortnight.

has been unprecedented in modern experience. Cholera
has prevailed in the same and similar localities as those
that were severely visited with fever in the September
quarter of last year. There are no available common
sewers, and the sanitary state of the town must be
inevitably bad; the whole of the surface and under-
ground drainage falls into rudely constructed cess-
pools.”

Notes on Cholera
96; 1. Portsea Island ; Kingston. Pop. 12170.
— Choi. 188; Diarr. 31. — Several deaths from diar-
rhoea took place in April. The first recorded case of
cholera occurred June 3rd, in Fountain-street, a
rope-maker, aged 64, after 4 days’ illness. No other
case was fatal until July 4th, at which time the epi-
demic broke out with great violence. It continued
to prevail during July, August, and part of Septem-
ber, suddenly ceasing to be fatal from the 21st of that
month until October 3rd, after which only 7 cases
occurred. The period of its greatest intensity was
from July 9th to 31st. 104 persons died in the 23
days. At the Union workhouse, 43 deaths from
cholera took place, 5 on one day, July 29th, and the
mortality in Fountain-street and Nance's-row was
very great. The Registrar refers to the latter places
in the following terms : —
“ I beg to call attention to two localities in my
district ; the first a place called Fountain-street,
which has the main sewer of the parish passing lon-
gitudinally under it. During the wet season of last
winter the sewer was blown, and the whole place
became for a time inundated with its contents. The
inhabitants, who are poor, were obliged to wade
through an average depth of 14 inches of foul refuse.
It was in this low, ill-drained, and ill-ventilated place
the dire disease first appeared (on the 3rd of June
last, being the first case in the Union), and after-
wards continued to make its greatest ravages. The
second is a place known as Nance’s-row, situated in
an open field containing about 20 houses, the inmates
being very poor and numerous. At the south end
there is a junction of the four parish water-courses
of about 6 feet deep, where a vast accumulation of
foul stagnant matter becomes formed, and at this
spot the cholera in its most fatal and malignant form
first appeared, and 22 fell victims in the 7 southern
houses, and, strange as it may seem, not a single case
occurred in any of the others.”

suffered were Prospect-row, where 13 deaths oc-
curred, (3 in each of the houses, Nos. 21 and 22);
East-street, 9 deaths ; West-street, 8 deaths. The
Registrar, in his report for the quarter ending Sep-
tember 30th, thus adverted to the measures taken to
arrest the progress of the epidemic : —
“ The visitation commenced in this district about
the 7th July: As soon as the character of the dis-
ease was fully known, the local Boards met, and
unanimously agreed to throw aside all consideration
of expense, and adopt every plan in their power to
stay the ravages of this frightful disorder; and I may
venture to assert, that to their energy and prompti-
tude we may attribute the fact that in the early stage
of the disease it succumbed to the remedies applied,
and, where it had established itself, it was alleviated
as far as human means could go.”

In the Cholera Hospital, Bilston, 42 deaths took
place from cholera, and 2 in the Workhouse at Old
Bilston. 314 were males, and 298 females, who died
of cholera during the year 1849 ; of this number 238
were under 15 years of age, 329 were from 15 to 60
years of age, and 45 at 60 years and upwards ; in
August,- September, and October, 608 deaths were
ascribed to cholera, and during those 3 months
63 to other causes of death. Diarrhoea prevailed
throughout the year, a few isolated cases occur-
ring prior to the first appearance of cholera, and
was most fatal in September, principally to children ;
remarkably severe in a few cases, approaching in
character to cholera, from the quick termination of
life, namely from 7 to 27 hours' illness. With reference
to the trades and occupations of the sufferers from
cholera, it appears that miners, puddlers, shinglers,
blankmakers, mechanics, labourers, &c., with their
wives and children, suffered severely; from the com-
mencement of the attack to the termination of life,
in the majority of cases, but a few hours intervened.
The Registrar, in his quarterly report to the Registrar-
General, states that “ about 60 interments in the
September quarter took place without registration,
owing to my own severe illness, and the impossibility
of my deputy leaving home to seek proper inform-
ants, from the constant applications made to register
deaths.”
